What does it mean?

Baptism by Ice
It sits in cubes inside cups. It creates a blanket that can hold in heat on distant worlds. It contains the geometry of a snowflake. We may scratch our heads when it’s related to baptism, when one typically associates liquid water or even fire. So what does the work, “Baptism by Ice” mean?

Art should engage our imaginative participation. Too often the journey it takes us on is interrupted by an over explanation of what it’s about. Many artists have been guilty of this, including this one. The interpretation of a piece of art is just as valid from someone off the street as it is from the artist that created it. It reflects our life experience and how we see the world. Feel free to share your own interpretation on my Facebook page, www.Facebook.com/figurativearc  You can also follow me on Google + and comment there.  May our thoughts about what art means take us on a great adventure!
