I just looked at them again, ...You're welcome.<br /><br />I just looked at them again, months later.....they stand up nicely to repeated viewings, always the mark of good art - you want to come back, see it again.....maybe through different eyes, the next time :-)Miguel Tejada-Floreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009742564193144407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23343864055670773.post-28468503062293599352014-12-09T20:12:15.324+01:002014-12-09T20:12:15.324+01:00Thank you!

You should write my artist's statements ;-) - you always find the words for what I want to express without words.Martinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771625000856319335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23343864055670773.post-88087693950329760492014-12-03T11:12:30.607+01:002014-12-03T11:12:30.607+01:00These are great selfies.

One of the (many) things I like, looking at them, is the sense of distorted space - the fisheye POV of the mirrored reflections - versus the seemingly ordinary squared-off perspective/s of the world around them - makes the selfies....more mysterious....more challenging.....than 'ordinary' selfies, ones which just show the person, and the place they are in or at. But here, in your photos, the 'person' - you - is.....fluid. Not easy to pin down, or define. This person might be x...or she might be y....or she might be z. Or all three. Or none of the above.<br /><br />It makes me think of a line in a poem by Anne Sexton - "I am a collection of dismantled almosts." I think I feel that way myself sometimes. I might be this...or I might be that. Or I might almost be something else. Or almost not.<br /><br />I'll have to look at them again....to see how they change....the next time.Miguel Tejada-Floreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009742564193144407noreply@blogger.com
