Ambiguoity
Being known is seen is a factor of being powerful right? I tend to think there is power in being unidentifiable. Assumed associations can be avoided , associations I believe is the downfall of individualistic thought. Present an opinion and audiences want to allocate imagery and ideals that had no association with the opinion at all. If you are unidentified there are no misconceptions ( i think of misconceptions as opinions that are stated as fact) of concept just opinions and naturally occurring ideas : based on the given circumstances and background provided. I nurture this type of thinking... which is why i relish the disjunction of abstract pieces. That "give you alot but at the same time nothing at all" (factors i find in the work of for instant... Basquiat) story telling is way more thought provoking then giving a gleaning of concept disguised in a very clear narrative. The directive of the artist wont mean anything if the audience already has a preconceived notion of the perspective. So what do i do to disguise the voice behind the message? I neutralize it with patterns... culturally relevant ones and not the kind mass associated with "races" or "class" but individually based patterns constructed of the subjects socialization process of the past and present.
