deconstucting art is much like deconstructing yourself, because to critique is to impose thoughts that you put onto a piece. the artist may not have even thought about the issues which you are raising when deconstructing a work. from my experience in experimental theatre; if we work with a text we pull the text apart line for line and impose meanings onto the work that the author may never have intended at all. this is part of making the text truly ours by imposing ourselves upon it. although some writers do not allow that, such as the estate of Samuel Beckett. A company here in Australia were ordered by the Beckett estate to remove any music from their production of Waiting for Godot or the production would be shut down.
