We discussed my hidden project
Layla came up with lots of suggestions, making shrines of Janet’s trinkets, or doing a time line of her belongings and photographs, also light boxes to display her belongings or photographs.
We talked about how displaying the work is just as important as the work it’s self.
I said I would like to interview Janet and Layla thought this was a great idea may help me in the sequencing of my photographs.
She suggested I watch a film called Grey Gardens, about an old mother and her middle-aged daughter, the aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, live their eccentric lives in a filthy, decaying mansion in East Hampton.
Layla is always very helpful and doesn’t mind sharing her experiences, she is very encouraging and makes me feel like my work is worth while, I am looking forward to hearing from her as she has my email and has promised to send me some information she thinks will be useful.
Grey Gardens Layla was right this was insperational:
