(Good ones do, anyway.) Meaning - halfway through creating it, it starts taking on a personality of its own and goes in directions you never expected, even if you planned the dang thing out to the last shoelace. It's like a skyrocket taking off, going up up up but wobbling in directions you didn't expect. That's what is fun about making art. So you can't read TOO much into an artist's work or their intent, because its a very loose process; just appreciate the thing as a personality all of its own.
