The Remains I

[Pete Askew]

No explanation for the moment. I'm curious to see what you see!

I see a bit of a conflict Pete. A conflict between time and use.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh, deep. I'll try to reign in my imagination, though alien abduction did spring to mind

Seriously, though...

It's all very neat and tidy, almost like a dolls house. The mark on the wall where presumably a couch or table used to reside is hinting at change. The lamp is not in a useful place for newspaper reading, though the whole looks like a favoured corner for someone to escape to. So, if not alien abduction, then there is definitely a sense of alienation.

 

[Brian Moore]

That lamp bothers me!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

So? What's it all about, Alfie?

 

[Dave Farnes]

I see a 1940 sitting room. The room is empty because the family are in the air raid shelter.

 

[Pete Askew]

So? What's it all about, Alfie?

Patience!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Grr. What's that?

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

I see a very spartanically equiped room as if poverty is a dominant factor, nothing on the wall, the lamp almost on the floor as if they are afraid to break it, when not being used. As well as the book intrigues me and I very much would like to know what the book is about. I see that you have kept that in the dark The other day I saw an article where people in general preferred the images to visionalise a story. I think you do that here, due to how different people interprete it.
