A few years ago, I attended a workshop conducted by Iris at Alchimia in Florence. It was titled 'Please be afraid of being understood'.
It was a great experience and I remember the discussions and explorations through making, that Iris encouraged. Questioning inclinations of over-explaining through work and of the value of the unsaid; allowing the work to continue, and perhaps unfold, through the viewer. But not insisting.
Iris weaves that so beautifully through her work.
