Words > Images Words conjure images in our minds. How we 'see' these words is very individual, we have our own preferences and references to the written word, and these in turn form in our own, unique imagination. In this piece I asked 22 collaborators to read a text I wrote describing a scene. I wrote it in such a way that it did not label it, nor hold prejudices I may have or bias and opinion. Instead it described only the physical attributes of the view - the colours, the suggestion of the texture, the way the shapes mingled with each other, the preciseness of the lines and the darkness of one part of the view as opposed to another. My request of my collaborators was to use their imagination, not to produce a wonderful image necessarily, but to respond to the words. Nothing was 'wrong'. what interested me was what they 'saw' from my words. The images are in no particular order.
