Tom:
Guys, I feel as if I've been enlightened by a glow in the dark sticker.
Lines:
Oli, I agree with you. I leave my work up for interpretation for the most part, but the style, the medium I work in, it's based on my choices. I think it's the same for the author with what genre they write in and how they write that puts them into their work, but not always what they write about. I just don't agree that the artist/writer can be completely removed, especially if they attach their name to their work. (Some use pseudonyms/alter egos.)
Jackie Blue:
Yeah, as a writer/musician/visual artist myself I'm definitely gonna have to say it annoys me that some people think my intentions and input can be completely removed from a comprehensive analysis of my work and still have said analysis be more than intellectual masturbation.
jimbunny:
Well, if they don't consider your intentions then it's not a comprehensive analysis. At the same time, I don't think that people do "comprehensive" analyses of art, anymore. Or, rather, people have fessed up to never having been able to do so. Or, rather, they still try but from an angle that already assumes that they don't (i.e. fail).

Yeah but you might have to realise that that people who interpret your work as separate from your intentions probably don't give a shit about how you feel about it. After all, you're dead.
