/shrug… I wish I had a fraction of RobertT’s creative insight. When I see art, I tend to try to see the stories they are telling. RoberT’s work the stories can be so many things and go pretty deep, but is left up to interpetation and audience acceptance. I think a lot of voters can tend to quick glance & vote on the “superficial” level of what they saw but not really let their minds wander in the story so the polls can seem illogical at times. With that said, I don’t think the polls are off tilt this week and are roughly reflecting the “story”. I think all are telling interesting stories this week but I think both RobertT’s and Moritz’s are telling the deepest stories. I dunno, I really do think this was a great week of entries for everyone and I think everyone displayed new skills.
As for him losing his edge, you make several works a week or even one per day, keeping it up for years, and you’re bound to run out of completely new ideas sooner or later.
