"A way to talk about one thing while describing something else" Jane Hirshfield
"We formulate new ideas by analogy, working from what we know toward what we don't know..." Malcolm Gladwell
I found the tasks we were given in this workshop, useful but difficult. With visual metaphors I often struggle to find them and then once I think I have one, Im not too sure as to whether I've got the idea of what a visual metaphor is exactly right. I think I understand what the premise of a metaphor is, but can't quite seem to wrap my head around how to effectively apply this in my image-making process. But the thing is, I think when you get it right, really right, its fantastically clever and simple - so grasping this method of thinking and image-making is definitely something I'd like to do and develop.
