I start with the idea that the meaning of an artwork is primarily unknown, even and especially to the artist. Any attempt by the artist to say what it means is only intention and intention almost never correlates to meaning. In order for the meaning of an art object to be known, the meaning must be continually constructed through a process in which the culture the artwork is embedded, engages with the artwork. Said in another way, after the artwork is created, the viewing of the artwork by a viewer (or rather many, many countless viewers) invents the meaning. So meaning of an artwork is both created and discovered in process that takes place through time, and furthermore this meaning is always in a state of becoming, never reaching a steady state. This also says that the meaning of an artwork is continually at risk of being erased and forgotten through time. In this case intention is completely obliterated but the process by which we find meaning can go on, and is continually constructed and reinvented.
