..... about dissection

  • Considering the dissection of imagery while dissecting the imagery 
Thinking about the hidden text made by the public at my last event Points of Departure (with the use of my invisible ink pen) and what it means to find hidden text in relationship to today current situations with Brexit and the leave campaign and the media. 
  • Definitely and Defiantly are different words 
I regularly spell Definitely wrong -across my pictures of artists performing i've written the words with the words "Defiantly... (and the persons name) "  - considering the representation of "self" through another and looking at the memento (of the B & W paper image) and the distance (in time) from the event.   
Defiantly
 is an adverb that is linked to the noun defiance which is defined as "bold disobedience." It is one thing to behave badly and hope to get away with it. It is quite another to want to be seen behaving badly — that's action done defiantly: it defies, or openly goes against an order or rule. Im wondering if this is a preferred word perhaps.
