Doesn't appreciating art have to do with allowing things to be ambiguous, you have no idea what this artwork will 'say' to you next. Art has an effect on me, unbidden to a large extent, I didn't ask for it. I am experiencing unknown effects on me, coming from something that I am caught up with in such a way that I can't tell who started it. Am I just imposing my concepts of beauty on to any old thing or is this thing totally overpowering me? My whole sense of what 'affect' means (feels like) has been transformed by this artwork.
