The broom is a rather heavy-handed and obvious reference to Fox-Talbot, which also serves metaphorically and anaphrastically as a door jamb, barring access to art to those outside, while the plate glazing symbolises the invisible barrier between the artist and her intended audience. Yet the broom also unites, for is it not the device over which newly-weds jump into their reinvented world? And does the broom not then bring together the sublime and the vernacular, thereby regendering the whole?
