Imagination and Symbols

“The images with whom we interact are symbols, and we encounter them on a symbolic plane of existence. But a magical principle is at work: When we experience the images, we also directly experience the inner parts of ourselves that are clothed in the images. This is the power of symbolic experience in the human psyche when it is entered into consciously: Its intensity and its effect on us is often as concrete as a physical experience would be. Its power to realign our attitudes, teach us and change us at deep levels, is much greater than that of external events that we may pass through without noticing.”

Art WIP, Woooo I am 😍 loving 😍 the development of this piece! I’ve been spending my Saturday dawn hours reflecting and creating imagery gleaned from those reflections. This image in particular sparks some ideas for a comic book 🤔 Hmmmmmmm. • In the meantime I have another project in the works for the month of October. It is totally different than anything I’ve shared with ya’ll before 😯. I am a bit nervous and excited. For now all I can say is that it is perfect for the Halloween season ☠️🎃👻🤡 • #artwip #opencanvas #artistoninstagram #activeimagination #arttherapy #digitalart #digitalillustration #art #pnwartist #artist #artistininstagram #creative #pnes #artforepilepsy #epilepsyartist #emotionalart https://www.instagram.com/p/B2xBNEHp4wr/?igshid=lni5ru7z6fvg

Nature Based, I decided to #carveouttimeforart before work by taking 30 minutes to do an entry in my #artjournal for #arttherapy - I always try to use #activeimagination in this journal to allow whatever needs to come to the surface to arrive. Sometimes it’s obvious what I’m expressing, but other times it’s something a little more understated. What do I take from this entry? As I’ve never really been drawn to #geodes before (pun intended 😋) I imagine it has something to do with the surprising nature of the geode structure itself. The outside is typically seen as plain ol’ rock, but the inside has #layers upon layers of color (like tree rings) that lead into a cavern of crystals at the center - Hard, reflective crystals. 🤔 I’ve been doing a lot of #innerwork over the last few years and it feels like I’m finally in the belly of the whale - the center of that geode. 🐳 I know I most certainly need more #nature in my life. 🍃 • #art #artist #artistoninstagram #prismacolorart #psychology #carljung #geodeart #pnwartist #creative https://www.instagram.com/p/B2sICalpGNo/?igshid=11ia0rq7geptq
