This "Risk it!" experiment is just that. I'm starting on a path where I select a few of my pictures that go together in some way that satisfies me and makes them intriguing. So far, I've been only partially successful in these two goals. Still, I open them to you as this provides feedback that might help refine my approach.
I do not know all the answers. I'm playing with the idea of neighboring pictures working together in some way, altering the nature of each unit seen natively alone and providing something interesting for the viewer to explore. Yes. this is meant to be artistic, but without some built in "message", but rather a set of materials, visual shapes or sensibilities that might suggest to the viewers meanings, feelings or just a sense of distraction.
So one could put "black" "&" "white" and then one might think of connections to that. So someone could imagine B&W Whiskey and someone else a police car and another a clear instruction to follow. But that explanation is far too specific for the stage I was at in sharing just two pictures. I'm not there yet as I'm only playing with the images that I feel might work together and am not yet explicit enough in my intentions and craft. I just like what I've done so far, but not enough that I'm satisfied as yet.
Asher, I seem to understand what you are trying to achieve. Suppose you hadn't mentioned in words, [y]our intentions, what connections are there for the viewer to interpret your thinking?.
I hope I've answered these questions well enough. Let me know.
Would any interpretation be correct?
Yes, correct for the time spent by the viewer, bringing their own givens and needs at that time. I'd be interested to know what ideas came to mind; nothing lofty at the moment!
