Re: Symbolism/Language/Focus
That is how I feel as well but that doesn't account for the consistent use of the pyramid in i.e. Masonic imaging. If I put a pyramid, have no idea what it means, maybe I want it to be a huge three dimensional arrowhead, pointing at something else, does it still have those connotations? Will unknowing people feel that connotation sub-consciously even without ever having learned about the Masonic meaning?
For what you say sounds as if the symbol is merely a channel, a graphical representation of an image, that due to its geometry can be interpreted, which and whatever way the interpretation happens then, is just a question of conditioning of the observer or the context within the piece (if you ignore the conscious mind at least).
