A/r/tography

Metaphor and Metonymy

 

 

Metaphoric and metonymic relationships help us make sense of the world by making ideas accessible through our senses.

Literal language exists within systems of containment and classification. Metaphors and metonyms permeate boundaries and open up new understandings.

Meaning is anticipated, evocative, provocative, suggestive.

A/r/tography is active and responsive requiring attention to what is seen and known and to what is not seen or known.
