Only child syndrome.

Me and my tutor had a conversation about being only children and whether it has had an impact on our social behaviour. I wouldn't say either of us are anti-social, infact people often say they would have thought I'd have siblings, yet we both often have introverted tendencies. I am often perfectly happy to stay in with me myself and I. He would refuse a day out with friends on a Sunday to read a book. It was reassuring I am not the only child in the only child sense.

It made me realise the source of my work is often introverted. Boring, lonely, classic found photos. Familiar of a period but uninteresting.

I like this. And I'd like to work under a theme... An introverted theme seems to be a way forward for now. Attractive but ambiguous.
