A Smith Gallery - “Diptych / Triptych / Multiples / Collage” Open Call

Diptychs tell stories, Triptychs tell larger stories, Multiples (more than a Triptych) and Collages tell even larger stories. What kind of a storyteller are you?

—oOOOo—

“The Schumacher twins were born cockeyed, Diane looking at Debra, Debra looking at Diane, when standing side by side. They spent the first days of school each year explaining their condition. Many of the boys had been hearing the story for years but would stand close at the telling, just to be near to the twins, feigning sarcasm. Mr. Covarrubias, the algebra teacher and amateur photographer, took the school pictures each year. He thought the girls were the most beautiful young women he had ever seen. He lamented their condition.

The Schumacher twins walked up to the auditorium stage to have their Junior year photos taken. With the girls standing in front of the blue used carpet backdrop, Mr. Covarrubias had an idea. What would happen if he placed something to the left of Diane and to the right of Debra?
