Sometimes when looking at art work, the viewer tries and finds a deeper meaning. We could stare at a piece for a long time trying to find the social commentary the piece is commenting on. Sometimes, there is no deeper meaning, or a statement. Art can be as shallow or as meaningful as the artist wants it to be.
That is what I enjoy the most about Beccy Ridsdel‘s work. In her artist’s statement for this installation, Ridsdel says, ” The ‘surgeon’ is dissecting the craft object to see what is within. He finds craft through and through. ”
I think her statement is simple, sometimes we create just to create. We don’t always need a reason to make a great piece of work that has a philosophical meaning.
