Did anyone else watch the Art 21 episode on PBS last night? It had Ann Hamilton who did a series of mouth pinholes. That part was only a small part of the show, but it was interesting none the less. She used film canisters that she put in her mouth, then took the tape off, then stood with her mouth open for some seconds to take the picture. The thing that struck me most was something she brought up. To take a picture of a person she has to stand looking at that person about 1-2 feet away with her mouth open. It's rather awkward. I can't even take pictures in public, outside of my apartment. I always feel like people are stareing at me. It makes me really uncomfortable, so I don't enjoy doing my art, so therefore I tend not to do it. The process of making the image has become so private and personal to me that I can't share it with anyone. Except my cats of course. I may be limiting myself, but this limit has caused me to explore more in the place I live and exist comfortably.
