same not same

this assemblage reminds me of the concept of style. how each one of these shells is in the style of an auger shell. but each shell is different from every other shell. just as every shakespeare sonnet is both shakespeare and unlike every other shakespeare sonnet. just as every georgia o’keefe painting is both uniquely itself, and a georgia o’keefe. and a frank gehry building is always a gehry and never the same as all the other gehrys. i am wondering what a mary jo hoffman looks like. an image that stands proud as itself and that also whispers the name mary jo hoffman.
