Writing an Artist Statement (part one)

The large white empty space on the wall is where the dreaded artist statement is to go for the Preview Night of the Final Show on Monday. It’s to be printed on A4 paper, with a thumbnail head-and-shoulders photo in the top left hand corner. Mounted on foam board, it’s attached to the panel with velcro mounts.

One thing a photographer dislikes more than photographs of themselves is descriptions of the work. Although there are an awful lot of potential interpretations of the piece, the difficulty is going to be getting the gist down to less than 100 words. 50 would be even better. If anyone has any ideas, please share!

It’s always good when the model is pleased. No cracks about which one he is, eh? He’s the one with the dimples, obviously.
