His and Seth's idea about objects bought as totems are excellent. As both have led me to look at the consumer's perspective on my art, I've had to think about this very question. Beyond merely figuring out where my art goes in someone's house, I've come up with the nostalgic fact that my art helps peoples' memories, helps peoples gather again around music. Finding the one person at a time in such a heretofore unmade niche is difficult, but the connection is real when it happens. Gratifying. Peace, @vinylart Great post, good follow-up to Hugh’s.

It's a very interesting thing to consider one's work through the eyes of the person who purchases it. And tough to do sometimes too :)<br /><br />P.S. It depends on who you ask. flandrumhill:

As an artist, I am going to have to really think about that one. <br /><br />P.S. You're not *really* an asshole are you?

I think Hugh would definitely suggest that every person selling something should really be thinking about how their products are "social markers," and if they're not... Well, be worried.<br /><br />I find it a very fascinating thing to consider. Thanks Amy!
