attention and in the few hours that it's been on display I have received more reactions than any exhibition before. \u00a0I concluded about a year ago that by\u00a0simply including the images of people in a piece of work you immediately make it more attractive to onlookers than a piece of work consisting solely of non-human content. \u00a0Once you have succeeded in drawing an audience, all other relating factors begin to increase such as criticism, applause, insults, debate, queries and suggestions. \u00a0When I strive to create a thought provoking and entertaining piece of art, audience figures are important. \u00a0I have to become good at the skills of\u00a0marketing\u00a0and the skills of producing art in equal proportions because the two activities are co-supporting. \u00a0So far this exhibition seems to be\u00a0supporting\u00a0my theory.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-152\" title=\"No. 5 East Reach Taunton
