It was rare for me to even give a title to most of them -BUT my numbering system soon got lost and confusing even to me! I always prefer that the viewer relied on their own interpretation and never wanted to interfere with their experience with the piece. I enjoyed hearing their thoughts first before I shared my own ideas and reasoning behind the work.<\/p>\n<p>I believe art should make you work a bit. It should make you question, think, interpret, or maybe just produce a pure emotion. Now don&#8217;t freak out, work is not always a bad four letter word! It can be fun! I always thought that serving up a strong title and full explanation was counter productive to art and it&#8217;s purpose in our lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com\/236x\/81\/2e\/94\/812e94e7a7adcc557356885c30424eb1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I do understand that people also love a good story! Therefore I am going to start offering some notes that will accompany each piece. My\u00a0attempt is to give a bit of background or insight as to what was going though my mind during the process while leaving the door open to the viewer&#8217;s own interpretation. Just as certain songs or pieces of jewelry have certain significance to individuals because of a moment, an occassion, or time in their lives, so do the contents of drawings and paintings. What I see, and what I am attempting to make you see through my work is always the challenge given everyone&#8217;s backgrounds and life experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Follow links below if interested in learning more about each piece:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/starhorn.ca\/notes\/about-bird-wampum\/\">Bird &amp; Wampum<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/starhorn.ca\/notes\/good-spirits\/\">Good Spirits<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/starhorn.ca\/notes\/broken-round-dance\/\">Broken Round Dance<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Moccassins<\/p>\n<p>Turtle<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am normally opposed to offering a straightforward interpretation of each of my works.
