This is the first in a small series of portraits without heads, letting you fill n the missing bits with your imagination while I show the part I would like you to see.
There is a very seductive temptation to treat your audience as rather delinquent children, who need all information supplied before they can understand what you are showing. In my experience that more often leads to the situation where the audience switches off or they don't learn what you wanted to show but all the supporting information instead.
On the other hand I know that some people won't understand what I am trying to show, the gap between what I and they know is simply to great to be spanned by anything I might write here. Neither of us can help that. But at least this is here if they choose to try.
