This chapter is called "Constructing Meaning". Its a talks about "building bridges" between the viewer and the art piece. We choose pieces to make or look at that effect us in a way that some times can be logically explained verbally and some just effect you in a way you cant speak words at all. Good pieces of work use language, iconography, grabbing the attention of the audience, using words or pictures that make us believe what they are trying to explain through the piece even though all your life you have believed in the opposite; thats what makes a good piece in my opinion.
One piece that caught my eye in the chapter was Shi Jinsong's Na Zha Cradle. I personally like to call it the Death cradle because its a stainless steel cradle with majestic ax like cradle bars at the bottom and sharp materials hanging from the mobile.
