Welcome to Metaphors of Understanding...
“The “oscillating, slippery and unpredictable” characteristics of analytic dialogue allow for diverse perspectives and unlimited creative possibilities unlike communicative dialogue, which ends in resolution by striving for finite understandings.” -Elizabeth Ellsworth
Art in any form has unlimited creative possibilities in how I can be interpreted. In turn, the artist has the ability create the platform for this “oscillating, slippery and unpredictable” analytic dialogue. The goal of Metaphors of Understanding is to provide that platform for artists and writers to share their ideas and collaborate in order to deepen the meaning of their work. It is in the connections that we make with other people that we can be inspired, learn, and gain a greater understanding of one another.
