Individuation in Pictures Workshop with Jasbinder Garnermann -
Laura Browne’s exhibition of paintings titled The Movement of the Psyche’ is a unique and rare record of a soul’s journey to wholeness.
The individuation process is often hard to map, taking a meandering course through life’s ‘fateful detours and wrong turnings’. But Laura’s paintings have captured the step-by-step unfolding of this ‘secret order of the unconscious’:
The transformation of Body and Spirit when one engages consciously with one’s suffering, the emergence of the true personality out of the deep unconscious, the work on the Stygian Shadow which activates the archetype of The Singing God, Mercurius, beloved of the alchemists, stirring in the depths of the collective psyche, waiting to be called upon by our readiness to implicate ourselves in our own life-experiment.
Such is the power of Laura’s paintings to communicate and ‘express the inexpressible’ that we will find they become a permanent part of the topography of our souls.
