The debate between illustrative and interpretive art is old, and I would really rather not get into it now (Viagra headache). Suffice it to say that some people can't look at a Picasso or a Giacometti. Form means nothing to them. I accept that. This is not a comment on Tisa's images, BTW. The last time I went there, frankly, I was reminded of the old French style photography of the '40s and '50s and in that sense it was interesting. I was, however, disgusted by some of the comments left by visitors. Some of those involving chainsaws should have been removed by the mods IMHO. The question is: how does a mod decide to remove a piece. Are anger and dissent in this new Ashcroftian reality still possible? I respect anger. In most cases there's a reason for it, a meaning to it. It's a symptom that tells you something may be wrong. Oh! and I'd much rather see it expressed in an image or in art than with a knife or a gun. Now, if meaning's the criteria for deciding if a marginal image should stay or go, isn't that enough.
