(from her twitter)

i think the intent of the Artist can and should be appreciated, and it often helps the audience think and feel MORE about the Art. BUT once a piece of Art leaves the Artist and goes out Into The World - it's not longer theirs. it belongs to the world, and people can and will interpret things however they want. the Artist has no true ownership of the interpretation of their Art...only over the act of Creating.

no. never. not once.
