gossamer - a photo on Flickriver

gossamer

At the end of my Creative Live class when I finished making this series, I printed each image for a segment we filmed about how to print your images. During the wrap party, I gifted a print to each student and central crew member as a thank you for all the hard work that was put in. To my surprise, each person wanted a different print. No two people asked for the same one. It was a great lesson in seeing how different people are impacted by different things; how the smallest detail can draw someone in, how our experiences contribute hugely to how we interpret art.

I had felt a little down on this image, like it wasn't a big enough concept, or maybe like it fell flat in some way. But when I gifted it to Sarit, an in-studio audience member / friend, I saw it through her eyes. I saw why she loved it and it made me love it, too. Our art only contains one story if we keep it to ourselves. When we give our art to others it becomes imbued with their stories too, and what a gift that is. To see the world through someone else's experience - that is why I love sharing what I do.
