11:07pmBeen

how is showing something art?

11:07pmCamillia

what are you referring to?

please quote the section

11:07pmBeen

sorry it was just a thought i had about her work

she depicts/shows but what extra is there beyound a representation of something?

why is it art and not documentation/journalism/illustration?

11:09pmCamillia

Ben that is a good question.

Im not sure how to justify what makes it art.

Just when i was looking, for me there was a real sense of connection

i was able to connect to the photographs therefore the connection between the artist and her lens had a relationship with me personally.

sometimes when i look at her work i think its not for everyone.

when i first looked at her work i saw snapshots

and thought to myself any one could have done that

I guess her motivations and the output makes it what it is

Im going to sound rather contradicting but in so many ways I see it as documenting

Been

i do like what you have written

try and expand on why you like the portraits

reflection is an important element in art practice

11:13pmCamillia

its hard to explain about why i like portraits

11:14pmBeen

then theres something valuable in that

11:14pmCamillia

O.o explain?

11:15pmBeen

it moves you and what moves you will move other people and if you can find the material qualitys of the art that moves you you become better at make'ng art that moves people

which is the whole point

i think

11:17pmCamillia

hmm.

that makes sense
