Stuff...

I have always been intensely interested in images and what they do for us. We surely realise that by the objects we own and formally display we project what we want others to believe of us. Blogging opens a new zone...It is interesting how people often display pictures of their homes and parts of their homes that would be considered definitely informal...those things that many would rush round to tidy or even hide before visitors arrive for example...For me these pics reveal another 'layer' that we all understand but have not seen as important in 'Art' terms. They give hints about the day to day dynamics of our lives, the threads of continuity, rather than the landmarks of coalesced ideas that formal art and ideas of how we live often are. They further inform our collective humanity in that they often reveal how similar we all may be rather than emphasising differences. The actuality - Blogging - seems most of all to be a collective celebration of our humanity! How we live is what we Ar(e)t!
