Thanks for your comment -- I'm intrigued by the idea of art and cultural interaction. I think that art is very individualistic in the opinions and emotions that it evokes, but what's important as well is how that is communicated to others, which perhaps is what makes it interpersonal. I like how you say that art inspires interaction because that might be part of its purpose -- it's a link to establishing a connection, bringing forth conversation. I'll definitely have to think about your comments and look forward to looking into the ideas of art and communication some more! Thanks for your thoughts! - Susan Ryan,

Great things have come of that. But what fascinates me most is the life art takes when it's absorbed into interpersonal and cultural interaction. Ultimately, I think that COMPELLING art (in whatever form it takes) actually inspires interaction with other people... which is what it's really all about...
