This week I watched a video on Art21 about William Kentridge who cuts out figures out of newspaper and other found paper. In the video he discusses how his need to do this is equally as important as having a meaning behind the work. He talks about trying to have a meaning before he makes the work while some people make the work and then add meaning to it. I think there is a definite back and forth when it comes to creating my photographs. There starts with a content that I want but as the work progresses my idea morphs and the photographs and the content form together. It seems as though William Kentridge has this mentality as well but must force himself to start with a content because he feels a need to cut this paper and make this art so he must push it in a certain direction.
