Is this some kind of reference to being on the rag? If it is, it's a new one for me. I've heard riding the cotton pony, Aunt Flo visiting...but never that one.

That said, I just don't like violence in my visual art. Esp. animal violence. The piece makes the wolves look stupid. I'm allowed to not like it without speculation as to my mood or cycle, aren't I?

“My work is sometimes like the poppy flower. It has this almost romantic side, but yet it also represents a poison,” says Cai Guo-Qiang, who harnesses the explosive power of gunpowder to create epic works that are born in violent on-site acts of performance. For his show "Inopportune" at MASS MoCA, Cai explores catastrophe, pain and the meaning of terrorism in the world since September 11th with an installation of tumbling cars that follow a path through the air. In neighboring galleries, a video imagines a car bomb in Times Square and a series of stuffed tigers pierced by arrows elicits a disturbing, visceral reaction. “Behind all this is a very earnest and frank look at our society today,” says Cai.

From the arts 21 site http://www.pbs.org/art21/series/seasonthree/power.html, last season's episode about artists and working with themes of power.

Art, if it's any good, means more than one thing. And the meanings constantly change over time and are dependent on the persons making the meaning. The artist's intention is just one of a great many possibilites, not the one right reading. Some interpretations maybe more interesting than others, thats what the conversation is about. Cool work. It reminds me of predators, herds, migration, contellations, epic war, grimms tales, warnings, road kill, extinction, natural history diaramas. The fact that in real life it would totally surround you and overwhelm you, add a cool element of intimidation.

But let's ask Uggg.
