5: the outsider meets others

So I had begun to feel like I was not cut out to be ‘in the loop’. The first two images
are about this, the idea that art in inaccessible to everyone. I actually agree with this,
in some ways, but the feeling of being outside something that comes from inside is a
strange one. The first image I took on medium format, and the second was taken of
me during the taking of the first.













“this is where you want to be” “this is you, looking through the bars”


The last image here, is about a disagreement with a lecturer. During a presentation I
was told that I thought too much about theory and not enough about practice. This
was true. So I allowed myself to lose faith in knowing art theory, in favour of taking
images. I include this image because it is an amusing rebuttal to the ilk of an earlier image
(hence the first title “twins”) In this piece it will represent my move into wanting to write over wanting to take pictures.
