I found this statement which I feel fits my work so well. Walker (2009) says.. 'When a photograph - enters into a montage relationship with either a caption, text, another picture, or a particularly potent display context, then a 'third-effect' meaning can be generated from that juxtaposition which was not inherent in either of the terms seen in isolation.'
Each image and the text that is included in my piece of work has its own meaning but when it is combined together it gains a new meaning and effect that isn't present in the single image.
