THINKING OS the box

a new
    perspective
think
 unconventionally
from
a fresh
point of view
with
less constraints
break out
challenge
  assumptions
sidestep the dangers
with
a novel
 point of view
slant
 vista
angle
alternatives
  conceived
birthed
in
a bigger
  picture
    revealed
set
 upon
  the left field






The art of creating a visual response to a piece of writing is known as  a reverse ekphrasis ie the inverse of the centuries old poetic form of ekphrasis.The most well known example being Charles Demuth 'Figure 5' based upon a W C Williams poem.

EMAGI is a recent variation of a reverse ekphrasis derived by the advent of the widespread use of hand held digital communication devices  -where words in digital  symbols /letters can be represented as a shape
and uses a poet's poem to inspire the digitised 'drawing'
