The Art of Metaphor

• Directed by

Kate Taverna

Documentary

For more than 50 years, renowned installation artist Donna Dennis builds under-scaled houses to metaphorically honor lost friends. Rich with quotations from hundreds of journals going back to the early 1970s, the film reveals the voice of a poet, searching for meaning and metaphor, questioning what happens to a person when they die and documenting the journey the work takes her on.
