Mary Kelly

From the UCLA website:

"When the artist is no longer positioned as "the one who knows" (or feels foolish if he/she doesn't), but as the one who listens, he/she learns how to make the work speak more effectively. Likewise, for the teacher, it is not a matter of explaining, but structuring. Although I use a particular methodology, combining semiotics, psychoanalysis and discourse theory, I would not want to be prescriptive in this regard. What seems important educationally is to make the experience of the visual, which is so often assumed to be outside language and, for that reason, also a source of unconscious anxiety, pass into discourse."
