I’ll admit, I didn’t think I’d be seeing you again after last time.

Yes… sorry if I came across as… um… dismissive of your work during the previous interview.
It was good of you to agree see me again.

Ah, well. Art without criticism might lead to a happier artist, but a happy artist seldom leads to better art.

Now then – what’s this new line of inquiry of yours?
It’s… I’ve been thinking more about this piece.

The empty frame. Could it be… a map?
Ooh! What an intriguing interpretation.

But a map of what? Or where? Or maybe… when?

Could I possibly get one unambiguous answer, rather than three new open-ended questions?
Oh dear.
You really don’t understand how art works at all, do you?
