METAPHOR INTERPRETED

Abstract

This paper reflects on my personal awareness of the processes and conditions in which I fashion art objects. Though it seems odd to write about the processes of making art, as the processes are neither verbal nor linguistic, for me they do pertain to metaphors which are at once visual and verbal. The discussion which follows outlines the idea that metaphor is a primary source for producing my paintings. The process and features of the relationship between the work, the metaphor and an internal organizational principle are pointed out. The relationship obtained is addressed in the context of "FIT" and "MATCH". Hopefully what follows may "FIT" in some way with others who are involved in artistic activities.
