If your first reaction to someones work is unsure, don't close yourself off to it because you don't have the necessary knowledge to understand it. Approach it as a challenge and seek the necessary information you require to connect with it. That way you'll have the benefit of understanding that persons work, you will have applied the new found knowledge, and you'll be wiser for it. Don't however pass judgment rooted in ignorance as you will only stand to look stupid and will be none the wiser. Applied knowledge is wisdom my friend. We have enough people in this world unwilling to participate who reside in a perpetual state of ignorance. As a photographer and artist myself this is the first time I've come across Ken Kitanos work and I'm very impressed and inspired by it. ‘owl’ 9 times out of 10 it will be a lack of intellectual scope which inhibits someones ability to connect to significant works of art.
