activity10_ Synecdoche


Synecdoche is closely related to metonymy (the figure of speech in which a term denoting one thing is used to refer to a related thing); indeed, synecdoche is sometimes considered a subclass of metonymy. It is more distantly related to other figures of speech, such as metaphor. (Wikipedia)

Erica Russell "Triangle"

Beautiful Animation maybe even better than "Feet of Song" I keep looking at it over and over and over again. I love the line, quality and rhythm is particularly moving.

The association is with the triangle shape, in a human context involving the introduction of a second woman into the mix. This triggers a dynamic of jealousy and rage, though it seems reconciled at the end.

The perspective should be that of a dancer to appreciate the elastic movements of the dancers, the give and take of their relationship, and the sexually charged chemistry as two young lovers embrace before the arrival of another woman to the triangle of love. A painter too would appreciate the lush use of colour. There is passion here that unifies the arts
