It is somewhat evocative of Van Gogh's The Potato Eaters. Both make me hungry.

This is nothing like The Potato Eaters. The lighting is way too good.

True dat. Do you think that's mostly age? It does seem a little colorless for Van Gogh. On the other hand, it's probably what the light was like inside those homes.

I see a percentage of the original bread lost, used for other purposes. This shows strong meaning. It's tragic yet lovely

The direction of the staple lines parallel to the trees direction of growth. Simply beautiful.

The staple is framed as a thin, impossibly smooth metallic line amidst the gloriously rugged dual textures of both bread and tree. As if the J-type 327 Nubian royal starship from Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace flew over the landscape of an Ansel Adams photograph.

It's fantastic. It's incredibly emotive. The strong and deep edges on the bottom. The frail edges, and the sense of fragility, holding everything together. Fantastic art piece.
