I am of the opinion that the artwork and the interpretation/analysis are mostly separate structures. To simplify, I see the artwork as the base or a platform (meaningful or not to the viewer in itself), and the analysis or interpretation as a structure that is constructed on top. It does stand on the base of the artwork, but can have weaker or stronger foundations, different styles, details and, in a way, can be considered an artwork in itself.
But, it is a separate being. In this convention, no one, even the author, can claim to know the "truth" of the artwork, since the truth is constructed. Perhaps the only method of analysis that might get close to the truth is formalism, which focuses on purely conceivable and present aspects of the work.
This belief makes me want to both know what tools and methods the other reviewer is using, and be explicit about the methods that I use myself. Unfortunately, it seems very common for people, both in academic/artistic circles and online, to perceive and present their analysis/interpretation as the snobistic "truth" about the artwork, artist or art in general. While my voice is not as significant, I still find it important to note that everything I might write is a structure, a creation, and not the art I might be discussing.
As for the method, unless specified otherwise, it is going to be focused more on the readers response (aka mine). In my understanding, readers response theory can in a way be an umbrella term — if my background inclines me towards a more historical analysis, it is still personal in a way.
I most likely won't have too much time to write proper methodological analysis, so it's mostly going to be my reflections on the subject, style and contents of the books, unless I'm really into analyzing something in depth.
Once I finish my masters' paper related to the subject, I might publish it here. As well as my text on comparing analysis methods and their differing interpretations, based on the example of the photo series Transit Sites by Ursula Shultz Dornburg.
p.s
I mostly read books translated into Russian, and translation is a process of transformation, which can very well influence my opinions.
