Some argue that meaningless art can be considered mearly decoration, but that suggests that art with meaning cannot be decoration. Recently, I spent some time in Europe, and not one peice of decor was there simply to be decor. In my opinion, no art is without meaning, even if the veiwer is blind to it. The artist puts meaning behind every brushstroke, even subconsious, and it simply takes one seeking a meaning to place a meaning into the words.
Take a simple sculture of mishmashed papers, to most, its trash, but to someone, its the setting of a story of adventure, inspiring long treks on the beach, or a simple cupcake, delving into the childlike intregue and sweetness of a favourite TV show (as the pictured cake has a TARDIS frosted upon it.)
