Carving something like a Pieta might be beautiful, but carving a Jack O

perception can come to the transcendent--a creation without rules, or at
least a challenge to the existing rules and categories. So indeed I
think you are on to something here. It's your dissertation topic: The
Critique of Pumpkin Judgement.
