May everyone enjoy health and have joy and peace this New Year

The image below is part of a collage (poster) created in 2008. The particular ink drawing used in this collage is part of a series of quick and  spontaneous ink drawings I created some years before as part of processing the emotional aspects of OR experiences and medical procedures. Ink is very fluid as a medium and it can allow one to capture and process the emotional and sensational experience of the moment or memory. Its qualities facilitate the immediate, automatic recording of emotional experience, which allows catharsis to some extent. It could also be said that because it does not leave much room for correction or change it enables one to express emotional experiences and responses to memories and material in a fast and precise way.

I will be posting more of these more spontaneous drawings as soon as I find the time.
