Metaphor and making



Making a metaphor



Metaphor.           Metaphora.             Metapherein.  

A transfer .         A carrying over.      Change, alter.                          To bear.

Identifying the method that embodies the 

signified:

--------------------
*Create the metaphor, 
                     ----------------------
using itself like a verb in its own creation:


                        ------------
Heart  Pump  Shatter 

                      |(Reconstruct) - create   

different flows|

Lungs  Tree  Branching Blossoming  

Seed   Dispersal   Floating  Drifting

Words Labels Separating Stretching Redefining

*Locate descriptors:



Natural    Transforming   plastic  science

                                   witchcraft

Slowly     Gently         Settling


Milky grey like under processed film with hand touched colour spots


Sharply brightly overly coloured over clearly defined black outlines



*Abstract and encompass related concepts:


 Transmutation  Metamorphosis   Change 

*Abstract and encompass other forms:


 Energy                       Objects

 Objects                      Energy



* Observe. Internalise. Recreate in a different form, repeating the process


When stuck, summon words/images


Cocoon     seed    love    soft


Heart      Stone   Key     Cloud


Mix up metaphors, use words and imagery in connection with each other.
