I hope it's obvious what I was trying to accomplish there. I was discussing Dadaism with Sasha Grey on Skype and then it hit me.....LIFE IMITATES ART! I am portraying the duality of man and his creation. Westy metaphorically shuns the art world by turning her back to the camera. The easel stands motionless, reserving judgment as the scene unfolds. It is a Portrait of the Artist as a Middle-Aged Man....with a boner.
I don't have to explain all of this to a sophisticated group such as yourselves, of course. I just thought we could open up other areas of discussion.
Sasha ended our converstion by saying, "Ta ta, Dada." And we laughed and laughed and laughed!!
