You know this all seems pretty absurd, to mix up the art and the words about the art or image. People viewing the galleries have a CHOICE. We can choose to look at the art/image and NOT read the copy. Just like we can turn on the TV and look at the images and turn off the sound. For someone to come along and tell us exactly what we can and can't say about our art/image is just plain wrong. It is also wrong to tell us what is art. Art is the picture - the words underneath the image are of little importance, except to the person who CHOOSES to read them because they are interested. Some put poetry under their images, others lyrics, others stories, etc. others explanations about products used, or whatever. It is a fun way to share information and communicate with one another. No one is forcing me to read the copy. If I just want to look at and enjoy the art, that's what I do. SO WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL??? Carol
