Aleksandar, I am so lucky to not have been in many or actually perhaps no conversations where people say those things. And I have just joined this group, so I am new. For me, I am having a personal experience that is excruciating and invigorating all at the same time. As a psychololgist, I am crap at anaylzing myself, but I can paint my experience.
Aleksandar Malecic, tell me more about the ridiculous wisdom of dragons . . . I set out to paint my anxiety so that I could hold it in a sacred place, as Monika Wikman so wonderfully relates . . . it came out dragons. The way that I paint is to make a background like the clouds, stare at it and paint what I see. Then I keep painting what I see as the painting continues to emerge. No plan. Sketched on the canvas with white paint. It is my primary practice of active imagination.
