The mind creates, the body reproduces. In the material reality, art objects are reproductions of the mind , a mind that uses the body as an organism to materialize ideas, patterns, and emotions. My work examines the need for artistic creation as a means of bridging the gap between our conscious and unconscious minds. Inspired by Jungian theory of Individuation, I explore the therapeutic necessity of art in the modern age. Integrating the symbolic nature of circular forms, found in ancient cultures through to today’s society, in conjunction with my own body parts as an expression and representation of the thoughts and feelings that may not be accessible through conscious effort. Resulting in a fuller understanding of the decisions we make in life through revealing manifestations of hidden thoughts, feelings, and motives.

Now that I have created my final pieces I need to create a way to back them to securely assemble my pieces. I have decided to use a matt black background to bring out the vibrancy in my work, and using a square shape to incorporate the 4 corners usually found in ancient mandalas.
The size of my piece are too large for standard size MDF, so I have attached 2 pieces together using a frame around the edges, to get the size I need.
