The new work consisting of "Animal Whisperer's" and "Joyriders" pays tribute to the acclaimed psychoanalyst Carl Jung and his theory of Individuation.Being influenced by a profound life experience the artist's psychic growth and maturation of the journey of life and death is examined using animal imagery as guides for transformation and healing.There is now a deeper sense of self and a mystical inner connection to the cosmos and this voyage we are on.
On the journey of life we are searching for release through transcendence or joy.We are looking away from attatchment and dependence and have a deep inner longing for bliss and oneness.The instinctual and innocent animals simultaneously symbolize both the inner personal unconscious as well as the collective unconscious on our spiritual path for bliss ,happiness and fulfillment.Their duality of being half man and half animal reflects our inner and outer unconsciousness and consciousness;the preyed and the preyed upon.It is that duality that maintains the thread of life and keeps us searching for our joy.
They whisper the secrets of long ago thoughts and dreams and promote healing through their insight and helpfulness.They are the shadow of our pre human animalistic past when we were not self conscious and only cared for survival.They carry the wisdom and represent the reservoir of all our past experiences and guide us and heal us on this journey we call life.
