Concept by Harald Gravelsins

Research and photography by Jonathan Lander (June 1996)

Least Understood: None
Understanding is a subjective
phenomena and it might not follow
the intent of the artist, but
nonetheless you can develop an
understanding of an artwork.
Understanding the intent of the artist
is a different problem. Part of the
reason that I work at Emily Carr is to
be involved and keep abreast of the
state of the arts.

Favourite: Connie Sterrit, “Untitled”

I find this piece inspirational. I find the detail
and intricacy very exciting, and as I step back
and view the whole piece, I get a sense of
history, and a positive feeling.

Favourite: Rita Beiks, “The Globe and Male, Dec. 6, 1995”
I thought what Rita did was quite amazing-to re-establish the
remembrance of the 1989 Montreal Massacre and keep this issue
up front in society — her work was really ingenious.

I don’t understand it - it needs explanation. Of course, you
don’t necessarily have to understand something to like it.
