The word "esemplastic," coined by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, means "having the ability to shape diverse elements or concepts into a unified whole."
A worthy goal for collage artists, don't ya think?
Collaborative traditional cut and paste (scissors and glue ) collage blog with a weekly set theme.
OMG! FIONA!! YOU ARE BACK!!! Yay. Hope you are doing okay. We missed you. And I think besides teaching us a NEW word you certainly rose to the challenge of "ESEMPLASTIC" and this week's theme.
ReplyDeleteIndeed - we missed you! Not come across that word before I must admit. Saw an interesting film about Coleridge on the BBC recently by Julien Temple.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely Fi .. in Dutch we have this saying "I feel like a fish out of water" or "a fish out of land" (means not feeling at home) ... but your fish seems to feel at home surrounded by these beautiful elements like living cells and beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteIt's a strong collage and a great title!
Fi, Fi, Fi! You're back with a bang...love the collage (colors, composition, texture, all excellent...and you've given us a wonderful vocabulary lesson. Keep them coming, lady!
ReplyDeleteGood to have you back again, Fi - I missed you! Hope that you are doing well! Nice collage you made - and a new word for me, too!
