You say potato I say it means comunism works

So my computer has a six inch long ( ;D ) condom sticker that says "just wear it." In black letters over the white silhouette of a condom in a black box that again is six inches long. I feel (when someone enters the gallery) to cover my sticker or make it less obvious. dear reader I suffer from the disease called "connotative meaning " . I know what you're saying how could I suffer from a concept well the fact is the symptoms are clear and made-up. We all experience this disease with our own symptoms and ailments and its sometimes irreversible.

I'm right now sitting in the downtown North Adams gallery toy shrine called Maya lll. This shrine of toys is assembled with nothing but glue wire and childhood hand-me-down plastic pieces of life's most valued memories. They're diligently woven together to create a true meaning we may find evident within ourselves. Dear reader again you may be asking why I'm telling you about this and whatever happened to the "connotative meaning disease" ...

Well one of the gallery attendants was smart enough to right down various ideas of what visitors and passer by thought of the artwork . Several ideas from "creating you identity" to "sins of the father" were written down. The one that struck me the most was " A junk drawer used in a creative way". I'm not saying this persons felt negatively about the instillation. I feel that culture has given us a whole new meaning on the statements given us or that we create ourselves.
Due to environment, life experience and just the way we were raised. People are given the tools to there own meaning. So I believe dear reader that art may have a purpose of the artist but the interpretation and the meaning can be given by who soever wants. A perfect example is the infamous Mona Lisa you say potato I say she smiling, you say tomato I say its a self portrait. True beauty and meaning varies so much much that there isn't any absolute truth anymore.

So my condom sticker is hidden because not all meaning is of my own. my meaning is who ever decides to screw around should ride the latex glove to the oven of creation or the exit of dumpness( whatever you're into) to avoid AIDs or BABYs. But to someone else it the invitation to promiscuity and depravity and to some suttbex. To others it's know all tell all simple and relaxed word.

So some of you are wondering "what the cure?"... well there isn't. The only thing to do is to analyze more and more and think about why you give things the meaning they have. Well I hope they're all good meanings. I mean people burned books because of what they felt was the true meaning behind something. Well reader till we meet again.
