Hey Jeff
It was great to meet you, thank you!
I didn't get a chance to meet you after your lecture, i just want to let you know how inspiring it was. It was great to hear an artist from an entirely different field then mine share some of the same thoughts and views (and great to hear someone articulate them so well). I just loved the whole bit about keeping things simple so that the consumer can project their own thoughts, ideas, creativity on to the work. I did get that right didn't I? Thanks again.
Yes, the idea is that the less we put in to a figure, the more is left for the viewer to project. The key thing is for the object to resonate as beautiful in itself.
Think of your favorite teddy bear as a kid. It has eyes, a nose -- and no mouth. So it can be happy, sad, whatever.
I'm not trying to set any empirical rules, but just pointing out that group appeal (even if your group is 10, 20, or 5000 people) has to do with connecting with what each person has already within them, not imposing something from without.
