Purpose of this project
– To further sculpture my art theory through the practice of art therapy and psychoanalysis- exploring the self and identity through visual communication and practical research in relation to my understanding of arts role in supporting mental health.
Phsychoanalyst Influence
A strong influence in my work is psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Hermann Rorschach’s and his personality projective methods such as the ink blot test. My concepts and theories directly link to the expression of personality and therefore I feel Rorschach’s influence will encourage direct creative play around expression and identity.
