Seems pretty bogus to me. I think it's the gallery equivalent of smelling the cork when the wine steward hands it to you--it means nothing, but somebody told you you were supposed to do it when you were about twenty, and you've been doing it ever since, and NOBODY knows why. I think Tim's equating it with a parlor trick is about right.

Any real artist could understand your technique just by looking at it, and any non-artist won't understand it anyway. She might just as well have tried to impress you with her boundless knowledge by looking at the back.

Don't ever be intimidated by someone who knows nothing about what you do and how you do it.

Love to all artists everywhere (you KNOW who you are)!
XXXOOO--TE

(KIm, sounds to me like a substance abuse problem!)
