- Biographical Information
- I prefer there be no descriptive label next to the piece. If you must label it just use my name and the title, which should read exactly as is indicated above, including place and date. Descriptions and even titles tend to really limit the way a viewer perceives a work of art. This can be especially true for photographs that are often seen as merely illustrations for words. My work is deliberately ambiguous with a tension between the image and reality that contributes to many individual interpretations of the work. A title instantly channels the viewer into perceiving the work in just one way, and this is not my intention. Ever watch people reading tags at a gallery and barely glancing at each piece? Obviously a title can be made available upon request, as I have done for OAC to aid professionals in their jurying process. My resume should provide your general supporting information. (Shlim, 1990)
