Patrice Knight’s interpretive project focuses on the fundamentals of interpreting art. She uses clean, persuasive language, and provokes her readers to challenge their own and society’s existing standards about understanding art. A goal of this project is to uphold, promote and analyze the artworks of Ryan Gander. She describes his work with a positive and almost reverent feel, there is a strong presence of respect for Gander’s art found through out her project. She writes from the perspective of a well-versed viewer of art and Gander’s art especially. Knight has been well informed, and this is evident in her wide array of knowledge about Gander’s works and art writings. Though she takes many examples from text and Gander’s presentation itself, she does add a subjective spin to her project. Knight creates ideas that are based on the information she has learned from reading art writings, visiting museums, researching Gander and his art and listening to Gander’s presentation. She then builds upon this base by adding her own beliefs and opinions.
