Visualisation in words
Sep 8th, 2007 by ShaunO
An outstretched hand, upward, fingers and thumb flat, still.
Resting on the palm, wings slowly beating, are two butterflies - one fluorescent white, the other a shimmering black.
The hand gently curls closed, safely cocooning the inhabitants.
Upon re-opening there appears, not two butterflies but, a silvery grey, slowly rotating, cube.
It rises, and as it does, morphs, digitally, into the form of a matte grey butterfly.
Flying outward it slowly disintegrates into a myriad of grey, whispy, vapours, and then it is gone.
The inspiration for this little ‘visualisation in words’ was a passage in Tad Williams Otherland, Volume Two: River of Blue Fire, pg 104.
And for a more literal visualisation the following animation of Pierre Coffin’s Pat and Stanley doing “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” is cute.
