Jan Groth and Perception

Jan Groth
Perception, according to the dictionary, "is a single unified awareness derived from sensory processes while a stimulus is present."  An artwork is the stimulus that causes our conscious mind and unconscious mind to unite and accrue meaning to the artwork.  I have often stood in front of an artwork with other people, and we all see or experience something different.  According to White, "the artist can control the image, but not the reaction to it."  Jan Groth's work, can be a challenge to view and understand, but it offers the opportunity for different experiences.  Enjoy!
