The artist’s justification for defacing (pun intended) the vegetables is as follows:

I chose the potato to portray the human face due to it’s many striking parallels.  Not only is their skin porous like ours but they also come in different colors, shapes and sizes.  Potato heads grow, sprout, age, then decay… but they refuse to go without a trace.

But what does our reader think? Is this art, or not?
