I have been concerned about that fact that i am yet to come up with a name for my exhibiton. I wanted something memorable but relatable so i spent a while browsing throught the wordlist on the Poe Stories website. I've mentioned before that it was useful to know the meanings of some of the words i wasn't familiar with and it turns out some of them were really interesting.
A couple i noted down were:
Aidenn - Arabic word for paradise or heaven.
Beau ideal - A perfect embodiment of a concept.
Eros - Greek god of love, where the word "erotic" comes from. Also, love
conceived in the philosophy of Plato as a fundamental creative impulse
having a sensual element.
Though i liked the sound of the words and the meanings that came along with them they just weren't right! It wasn't until i came across a quote by Edgar Allan Poe himself that i discovered something new.
I'm not entirely sure what attracted me to this quote so much but i love the part
Velvet Bones. I've thought about it for a few days and i keep thinking about it. I think it sounds interesting and quirky, perfect fit for my exhibiton!
