Everyone is of course free to interpret the work in his own way. I think seeing a picture is one thing and interpreting it is another.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't like being told someone's interpretation of something that I do.
I'm glad I made a piece of art that can be interpreted so widely. Art is always interpreted subjectively.
I never felt interpretation was my job.
We not only interpret the character of events... we may also interpret our interpretations.
I see myself as an interpretative actor rather than a creative one.
I don't do my best work while I'm in therapy. I'm too onto myself immediately seeing meanings in things and more likely to censor myself. I'd rather find images I don't understand. That's what generates the work.
The two sensibilities, the visual and the verbal, have always been linked for me - in fact, while reading a particularly evocative passage, I will imagine what the photograph I'd take of that scene would look like, even with burning and dodging notes. Maybe everyone does this.
You know, I just don't believe that art is supposed to make sense. I really don't think it's supposed to be analyzed to death. It's left to the listener or looker to get what they can get from it.
I've always been so surprised by how people interpret my photos in context.
And I like to interpret music. So I think it's all interpretive.
