I’m not sure I agree with this – isn’t she then imposing herself as an artist on it more?<BR/><BR/>She talked about capturing a fleeting, everyday moment and that her photographs served to heighten that moment. I was interested to hear her talk about the layering and symbolism in her work so that it took the viewer on an ambiguous and personal journey. She talked about the detail and how the eye needed to move around the work to pick this out.<BR/><BR/>I liked that Hannah said she was interested in aesthetics and wanted to entice the viewer and give the viewer pleasure through her work and I liked the way that Hannah spoke about women and their strength and practicality. She spoke about the fact that it was often the women who kept food on the table during a troubled history and kept sanity within their families; so her photographs could be seen as a celebration of that.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11936540600393995090noreply@blogger.com
