Description over prescription
Body: Rachel Sweeney. Camera: Marnie Orr. Taken 17 April 2010, Barmouth, Snowdonia, Wales UK. Plaes Caerdeon based reflective period post- Adaptation intensive, Dartmoor.
Perception can be driven by the frame we allow. The eye of the onlooker can be drawn away from the body's form per se, and to the environment - by body placement and inquiry (dancer), and visual frame choice (photographer) during the live event. Here, as a viewer after the event I see the texture and shape of the rock, as well as imagining how the body is behind the rock.
The shift in focus during the live event from form to body placement here provides infinite possibilities in the viewer's interpretation in seeing the image. An aim could be to empower the viewer in experiencing the image for themselves through the artists' live descriptive process, rather than artists dictating a particular response from the image viewer by relying on past knowledge (eg of a dance form etc).
Nature's choreography - time
Nature's choreography - time - is a navigational strategy. The passage of time guides change, as is shown here when this liquid water had turned to ice. External conditions have altered the physical state of the water, transforming it to no longer shape to Bruce Lee's teacup. Rather now, it holds it's own shape, momentarily, as I watch the front end of this frozen river drip back to flowing. Loch of Lintrathen, Scotland. 12 December 2007.
