An Affect of an Experience - and how I learnt to write about it in the context of fine art

This book examines the philosophy of experience by investigating writing about experience as a practice in fine art, like painting. It also explores 'affect' as a research methodology and uncovers the reasons why experience is more aligned with the notion of actuality than other modes of consciousness and thus more likely to be viewed as authentic.
