No speculating allowed. But then, I entered a grad Art History program that was 90% speculating and only 10% anything directly "provable." The whole jump totally scrambled my brain and made me think (with my own art) "Why bother with all this deep inner meaning - particularly if the viewer is going to impose his or her thoughts/experiences on the piece ANYWAY?" <br />Thanks for posting your ponderings!Sarah Shuhttp://www.sarahshumaker.comnoreply@blogger.com
