Whoa, there. I'm an asshole because I happened to make art for the art's sake and -gasp- there's not always some deeper meaning or thought process behind it? Thanks for the memo. =P Some people like be told exactly what they want to hear, and aren't satisfied with, "this horse was black because I felt like it. She's also trotting and looking flirty because I felt like that too." No, they'd rather an essay, and I'd rather get a good grade. "Insert profound after thought explanation on my could-have-been-thought-process." That sounds about right. As for it being understood: I think the work should speak for itself, and personally I would rather hear the raw interpretations of others prior to tainting it with my own intent.
My teacher for my first college ceramics class was like that. Actual conversation...

Teacher-Oh why did you create this?
Me-Because I like the look of it, and I wanted to.
Teacher-But whats the FEELING behind it?
Me-Um, I like, so I suppose like would be the feeling.
Teacher-No no no. In order for it to actually BEEEEE something there has to be FEELING behind it.

God that class sucked.
