The story tells it

often times a works meaning could change. As a viewer or an artist, life experiences have an effect on the meaning of a piece. Where the work is placed can change the meaning of a piece. What is going on in the world when that piece is made or when its viewed has an impact of what the meaning is. For instance, the identity project we just did had a particular meening to me. it was to show that three particular images make me who i am. a skateboard for what i do, a cross for my religious upbringing, and the fact that it looks like a gravemarker for the lessons ive learned through the losses of people. Now if i would have placed it on the side of a road, it would have taken the form of a monument honoring someone, instead of showing who i am and the generalization it shows. if someone else had lost someone maybe they would have a different intake of it. it just goes to show that just because i made it one way, it could have many different meanings and different experiences make the meaning change
