The picture has a beehive in the lower left; a deviled egg in the middle; and on top of that, being knocked over, a poorly designed modern home, a kind of condo. On the right side, coming out of my green head, is a dog with a glass of wine upside down. He drinks like a fish. And coming out of my dress – because I change genders as you look from the right toward the center – is a big pickle I'm holding, and slices of lemon, and I'm stepping in spaghetti. Finally, on the left, raising an olive out of a martini just by looking at it – that's me, right inside of a hot dog. Everything is Freudian, meaning everything is in reverse." – Peter Saul
