One of the weird things about art is that it’s a form of expression that doesn’t necessarily have an audience. Quite a lot of art is more akin to keeping a diary, or singing in your head, than “look at me”. > You cannot participate in the meaning making process without signalling to other meaning makers I have ample evidence to the contrary which I have no desire to share with you, or anyone, other than noting its value to me having created it.
