Junkyard Quote 1 Week 8

"revealing the unflattering gut of the average salvadorian woman." This is another quote from my SCAD novel that I received as a gift. The quote in itself is part of a larger story about a father directing a funeral in his will.

  1. This is a great piece of junk because it is so uncanny, visceral and candid. I riffed on this image and came up with something interesting.

    "Revealing the unflattering gut of the average salvadorian woman"


    I made a single vertical cut from the eve's apple
    to just beneath the belly button,
    and used my trusty saw-tooth clamp to hold
    her tummy open, her flabby lovehandles drooping
    onto the brutally silent table.
    I scooped, weighed, then tested, her food
    and scribbled "6lb carne de puerco salada burrito
    - few hours - no foul play"
    in my journal.
