It has been suggested that, in exploring emotion as a way of knowing, it might be productive to work with images which are stripped of significance.
I was astounded by just how difficult it was to select images from my archives which were without some level of emotional resonance.
In the end, I let someone else pick.
Interestingly, Irene selected two images which speak to me of place – photos from a little gated alcove outside my Cardiff studio.
I returned there this morning and will extend my homework assignment by working with two artifacts found in the location which mean nothing to me.
Well,
they meant nothing to me until I photographed them and brought them home.
I think this might be a productive homework assignment.
