Art is created by the artist, and children are created by their
parents. Both are shepherded and formed and tended by their creators and
keepers to a certain degree, but art, like children, eventually assumes a
life of its own.
Just as others do not necessarily know or see your children like you do,
free range humans in general society will not perceive, react to, or
interpret your art just like you do. That property of artistic expression
and appreciation has real transcendent possibilities which imbue art with
great power. It is also a fundamentally uncontrollable aspect of artistic
endeavor that lends itself to chaos, particularly when the work is richly
textured, multi-layered, opaque, and complex.
Art does not exist in a vacuum and it cannot exist in a vacuum. It could
be postulated that a "work of art" is more than its physical presence and
rendering upon the senses, but also consists of its interaction with the
receiving human consciousness. It is a human interaction mediated by
symbol and form, where the transmitting nor the receiving psyche may
manipulate one another, but may never fully control one another.
Oh dear. This is degenerating, isn't it? Stop me before I gestalt
again! Oh angst of the zeitgeist of schadenfreude arrrrrrrrgggggggg <men
