Collective Subconscious
20" x 52"
(3 Canvases, 16" x 20" each)
Oil and Mixed Media on Canvas
The Swiss pshychoanalyist Carl Jung suggested that we all share a reservoir of memories--the collective unconsciousness--which consists of common images or archetypes, expressed as kind or wicked people, good or evil spirits, images in nature, etc. These are derived from the long experience of the human race, passed down in an unconscious mode from our ancestors. Thus we may all share the same images within our dreams or nightmares.
Do you ever dream of trees, forests or a quiet sky? Sometimes I dream of things over and over again, only to process these dreams through a painting and then find the image in my head is gone.

See My Light; Love My Dark
12" x 16" 1.5"
Acrylic and Mixed on Canvas
“There can be no transforming of darkness into light and of apathy into movement without emotion” -Carl Jung |
The most terrifying thing is to accept yourself completely. I created this piece with the sentiment that nobody is perfect, everyone is flawed in some way. When you truly learn how to love someone, you love them as a whole person. You love the dark and the light.
