On Longing by: Susan Stewart-- Personal Response

Personal Response

I chose to visually respond to the five impactful quotes by: Susan Stewart

(1) "The body is the primary mode of perceiving scale."

(2) "The capacity of objects is to serve as traces of authentic experience."

3. "The souvenir reduces the public, the monumental, and the 
3-Dementional into the miniature that which 
can be developed by the body."

4. "Nostalgia cannot be sustained without loss."

5. "To have a souvenir of the exotic is to possess 
both a specimen and a trophy."
