We talked about the fashionyness (I think that word is made up) of the images.

-       Not a bad thing

-       Can be used as a tool as part of your art vocabulary to help you express what you want.

We also touched on art vs. entertainment?

-       I'm not sure we reached any firm conclusion but I do think that there was a great discussion of the stylistic approach as a type of tool. I wouldn't worry about it so much at the moment, just make and see where it goes.

 The play of words that kept popping up was interesting and I would think about that some more

 Two example that came up were the words Act and Whole

The Act of making, or how to Act?

Hole? Or Whole?

What is your definition of Magical Realism? How are you using it? How are you using a sense of humor? Is the light a character in this work? (things to think about)

 It was suggested to look at Anna Gaskell (and another link)

 Also she has a book Anna Gaskell (this is the Amazon link but I would check for it in the library)
