...Or am I doing the investing when I look at the picture? Then why do I invest or shape? In themselves, images mean little. What one brings to them or what one hopes or expects from them constitutes a meaning: Most of us tend to take things too literally by way of sense and learned identification. I want to get at another aspect of experiencing, to see beyond the image, behind appearance. Taking things too literally stands in the way of this-like a veil.
