Artist’s Statement
| The
paintings you are about to view are a series of images that
take the viewer on a journey. They portray the process
of the transformation of the psyche as described by C.G.Jung
in his term “individuation”. Individuation means to
become aware of all the parts of oneself.
|
| The
goal of individuation is wholeness attained by means of a
religious attitude. This attitude is characterized by the
careful taking into account of the emanations of the
spirit and the personal experiences of one’s life. Jung
defines spirit as the factor that creates images in the inner
field of vision and organizes them into a meaningful
order. Each ensuing image is a progression and
development. Thus the spirit leads you somewhere.
|
| Though
wholeness is the goal, the essential thing is the path
leading to wholeness, as wholeness is a lifelong endeavor. In
every age there is an unknown aspect of the spirit waiting to
be discovered. By sharing his or her experience of the
spirit, the artist provides a point of departure and
recognition for those who, willingly or unwillingly, are
encountering the spiritual world.
