The Creative One

Out of Our Hands | Out of Our Minds

This collection was inspired by my own healing journey and what I've learned about the subconscious mind. Prior to discovering and training in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and Hypnosis, I was inspired by Julia Cameron's book "The Artist's Way at Work" and more specifically the exercise of "Morning Pages," involving stream-of-consciousness writing. This exercise encouraged me to identify the distinct voices that emerged in my writing. As I delved into the realm of NLP, I came to understand that every thought, pattern, and belief, serves a purpose and has, at some point, been beneficial. Instead of dismissing these voices, I began likening them to the characters portrayed in the movie "Inside Out."

The visual art within this collection was created using Photoshop and a technique referred to as "photobashing." Using photography, drawings, and textures I had personally created and then merged and blended them. This is also a stream-of-consciousness approach, and in the act of molding these pieces, they gradually showed their distinct personalities. I then matched each photograph with the voice and further elaborated on the roles they played in my life. 

As I dove into my inner world and began to understand these voices better, I was able to fully appreciate the collective support, love, and protection they offered me. I made the conscious choice to collaborate with these inner voices, embracing their presence rather than resisting them. This collection is a result of that process. Perhaps you'll discover a piece of yourself here.
