Browsing our new ‘Your Attachments’ thread had me thinking about ‘then and now’ - the evolution of both my own art/photography (MobiTog was my very first post-an-image-online experience) and the MobiTog community.
While we were sorting out the details in the staffroom, RoseCat shared her very first MobiTog post. And the images I have posted over the relatively few years I’ve been a member link me back to some special moments — funny, tragic, artistic, disastrous and everything in between.
My first image in Jan 2014 was a ‘Snow White and Rose Red’ collage. My sis jalaislynn Lynne had long ago shared her fantasy of our eventual escape from our tortuous childhood - and an essay she’d written theorising that fantasy in her psych undergrad. My response to her sharing was a series of Snow White and Rose Red images in which I tried to imagine my way through some of my sister’s memories.
Because those were the images I was working on, they were the images I posted in response to the ‘tell us something about your mobile art/photography’. A bit more ‘art therapy’ than most image/intros here, but as good an intro as any to the way my thinking and my art work
1. Introduce yourself to the new ‘your attachments’ option
2. Post images that remind you of something in your art/photography — or a moment in MobiTog — that you want to share
3. Anything else relevant to 1 or 2
NB: Properly credited images from challenges or collaborations or demonstrations welcome. Relevant urls would be a bonus!
