It seems to lack the tactile quality that most paintings have. Many a time I have been in gallery of photographs and thought, I could have done that (say that about painting as well, lot of the time,lol) or left feeling what was that all about, its borin. Where is the umph I get from a lot of work of art, even some pretty bad work. <br /><br />Having looked briefly at her website, I am not sure how I would feel about her work in life but somehow the way it is presented, it would probably make me think, wow, that is interesting. So maybe that is what is missing, presentation. <br /><br />This is equally as true with any art form. I saw an a middling exhibition locally recently. There were one or 2 I like, mainly because they were although to just hang so the natural light shone through them, so each side of the work was different. However, she had several smaller versions of this piece which she had stuck them rather badly on some canvas and then to top it off some basic,poorly made off white frames!<br /><br />Anyway, your review was very thought provoking and hopingly one day I will see this ladies work in Austin.I very much doubt it :( jacqui boyd aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05088700896864263856noreply@blogger.com
