Ambiguity
Ambiguity is the driving force of adventure. It allows for risks to be taken and choices to be made. In artwork, it allows the viewer to keep asking questions. If you spelled everything out for them, the artwork would be pointless. It would become easier to just tell them what you were talking about. In art, the ambiguity keeps someone coming back for more, always aware that they could have missed an interpretation or a well hidden detail.
"Non-ambiguity is the shaping force of reality"-Joseph Pierce
Well, I just don't agree with that. To me, ambiguity is just as much a part of reality as is the obvious. The best part of creating to me is finding new ways to inject ambiguity into my work.
