слова и вещи

I think a lot of conversations I have where I disagree with people has to do with the separation from words and things. Meaning, words are abstracted ideas of things. But yet these thoughts on words are very young. I can be easily put on my head when talking to someone who is not agreeing or will not even entertain the notion of what I have to say.

Visual art is an interesting thing. Many hold that visual art is like a language. Yet much of the interpreting of the work is largely dealt with in written or spoken language. Personally, I don't like to attach meaning to anything visual I do. I mainly want to deal with the perception of light. Much how when I listen to music, I care little for some explanation of the sounds. I care how the sounds make me feel.
