Connections
It was thinking about how we might connect to each other in unseen ways and an interest in the work of Carl Jung which inspired this MA project. The work is an attempt to evoke a sense of the unconscious potentialities of the mind as Jung described them, and in particular the idea of a Collective Unconscious and Unus Mundus, or universal mind, from and to which all existence flows. The majority of the images are of plant roots, used as a metaphor for networks of psychic connections quietly developing in the fertile darkness of the unconscious. These ambiguous and perhaps unsettling forms suggest contact with the 'wholly other' which Jung believed to accompany any interaction with the inner psyche.
