While the artist may be telling one story, the viewer may (and probably is) hearing another. I remember that in school I often had a different interpretation of a story or a poem than everyone else. Even though I could support my position, I was often told I was wrong. The thing is, once you send something out into the world, you don't know what people will do with it, or how it will be reinterpreted over time. I suppose that all anyone can do is tell the story they have to tell, in the way that seems best to them, then try not to get caught up in what other people think about it. Lin
