Dive Elle Moss ellemoss.etsy.comI am drawn to images of half-submerged women. I think I love the image of suspension, being seen and unseen, because it illustrates how unknowable we are to each other. I went to hear Marilyn Robinson speak this past weekend, and she said that this very thing, the unknowable, the mystery, is at the core of each of her characters.
In your own life, your circle of friends and family, how well do you know them? I don't mean the obvious preferences or temperaments, but that which flows like secret water under the surface.
I analyze everything, even minutia, to death. I think this is why sometimes I'm so slow-moving in my decisions, but then, there are times when I make critical decisions like a lightening flash. Why? I don't know, other than it's a visceral thing. Now, analyze that.
I've admired Elle Moss's work ever since I first discovered it. Now that the holidays are approaching, I am inspired by her work to create my own photo essays as gifts, (not of myself-that would be just weird). I think I'll collect images like treasures and then compile my favorites.
