... any hidden narratives?? i mean..the gesture/posture seems to suggest certain action/reaction.... to what? are they meant to provoke such intepretation?? or not?......
hidden narratives - nope, worry - im too shallow - hence the need to work with a partner.
narrative/thematic stuff that i produce usually comes out not-very-figurative. Sometimes it's representational, but never figurative. weird how that works.

"outside looking in"
- -- - this would be awkard for me - if i wanted to describe this experience, i think that i'd want to be immersed in it - i just dont have enough reference material, i think.


portrait documentations - 4-5 minutes. folklore...
this sounds kinda interesting. the word "documentation" scares me though. there's been a decade of mostly terrible art.
"folklore", on the other hand, sounds cool. What are these portraits like? are they paint, video, wirtten? is your source member of the family sitting right there in front of you when you do this, or are you just sorta meditating on the specific person? New stories, new traditions, new stories - inventing these new things (documenting them?) - there might be something there..
