Summer Show Choice

It has been a difficult decision to choose one image for the  Summer Show at Plymouth College of Art.  I want it to be the right image. Every assignment that I have handed in, over the past two years of the Foundation Degree, have been the wrong choices! I was always told in my Feedback that I had better images in my journal that I should have used as my final images. I feel more pressure this time, the image is going to be exhibited with everyone else's and it has to look professional and photographically excellent. Can I achieve this ..... be positive ..... yes!


I have decided, since it is the end of our two years Foundation Degree, that I will have my image printed at theprintspace at a greater expense than if I had it printed at college. I am having it printed to
30ins x 30ins, Mounted on 3mm Foamex, and with an Acrylic Satin Seal. I hope I've chosen wisely.


All day procrastinating and thinking ... I made my final choice this evening. I felt that the whole story can be told in this image. The story  of ..... chasing the light, the spirit of home, finding something that was lost, being still, listening to the silence, the concepts of duality/opposites, and my intuitive response to memory and seemingly empty but ambiguously mysterious spaces.


This is the culmination of five months work, a book at .http://www.blurb.co.uk/books/3255189....and the image I have chosen for the Summer Show.
