Veere selfportrait
Explanation
Listener, write below a summary of this selfportrait which explains to the group what excitement & fears this person brings to the group:
Veere's self portrait shows a large stone with a hole in it's centre. the stone lays ontop of a an open book. Veere was interested in this stone because of its unusual shape and she likes to collect natural objects when she is out and about. The stone also symbolises feeling solid. the book illustrates a love of language but also a disparity between spoken and written English and how it may be difficult to sometimes articulate fluidly in her second language. the stone doubly represents a lack of solidity within language.
