Importance of the Viewer's Interpretation

“[23:59] Yeah… for better or for worse, I am concerned that the viewer reads the painting… at least on some level, the way I intended it. Maybe not exactly… piece by piece of the painting, exactly how I meant it. But on some level I do really wish for the viewer to like, get it, so to speak… and then little nuances of interpretation from there. I always have a lot of fun hearing people's thoughts unfiltered… by them knowing what I intended. I like hearing just their initial impression.”
