What is using the personal context well?
Show answer
The danger of personal work is that it becomes private: meaningful to the maker but closed to the viewer. To keep it communicative, translate the personal into something a viewer can decode through visual language, and let researched artists model how others have made private experience public. The aim is resonance, not confession, so that an audience can enter the work even without knowing your biography.
