Actually the "Egg Whisk" is the most common description I have heard.  The 
second one is a light bulb.  I suppose if both are applied to the mind it 
could flip either way.  Not offended in the least.  In fact, I look at most 
art and say to myself "What the hell?"

The title of the piece is:  "T'was Not The Question Asked, But The Answer 
That Was Given"

The Encryption:  *"Whattnemtnetnocisnraeltheotmeaningsiofrewsnalifeeht"*    
This is engraved into the metal.  I wanted people to think about what it 
was they were looking at and also to challenge the mind beyond the first 
impression.

Here is how it is deciphered.  The first word is "What",  then you proceed 
until you can form another word all the way to the end.  Then go in reverse 
and form words without using any of the previous letters.  I am amazed at 
how some people figure it out quickly.  At an art show recently I had a man 
in a wheelchair look at it and say to me "OK what does it say"?  I replied 
that it must be figured out, I don't give it away.  He didn't attempt it 
but was extremely disappointed.

The copper and brass wires represent a communication of sorts between the 
seeker and the one who gives the answer.  The answer is being given while 
the question is being asked.
