My question is
Should the questions
What Is It?
What's It Suppose To Be?
or
What The Hell Is That?
need to be asked when one encounters a
piece made from wood? Or is ArtSpeak
from woodworkers merely a marketing
tool?


Unless it's a piece of wood art (i.e, carving, sculpture, etc), if you
have to ask what a piece of furniture is, or is for, then I'd say the maker
has pretty well missed the mark. i.e, if it's that artsy that it needs to
be explained, Artspeak is merely marketing to people with lots of dollars.
