Keep the doughnut leave me the hole

In the absence of another outlet I come here, read the many issues/arguments and ask, often aloud, 'what is in the hole'. Invariably I am seen as opposition, irrational, incomprehensible … perhaps, I am the hole in the doughnut?

One of the greatest inspirations/influences on me as an artist: http://www.henry-moore-fdn.co.uk/ You have to wonder, at least in part, if he wasn't trying to sculpt the hole?

And for a little doughnut history humor: http://www.elliskaiser.com/doughnuts/history.html

interesting post. I think few of us here are truly artisitic types and so may have a hard time seeing things from your perspective. I appreciate your effort to help us get it.

I'm no artist, so I maybe wrong, but it looks to me like he saw the donuts here:

Or brass knuckles of a two fingered thug! For an abstract connection to the idea:

Just as the donut isn't a donut without the hole, the hole is defined by its position in relation to the donut. It's a nice balance, where each needs the other to exist.

Here is my question... what about the donut that don't have holes like maple bars and apple fritters?

I answered that in my original post ... they are not doughnuts, they are 'maple bars', 'fritters', 'jelly filled doughnuts' but not "pure" doughnuts!

No kidding. Next they'll try to say beer is okay under the word of wisdom!
