Description | This document is written in support of the thesis exhibition, Art from the Abyss, which represents and supports the idea of art-making as a catharsis. Through these works, negative emotions are identified, named, and given an image. Frightening emotional issues become visual caricatures, placed within a non-threatening context, where they can be understood. Understanding creates tolerance, and lessens fear and distrust. The metaphorical abyss is not just a repository for potential evil, but an important source of positive, creative energy. | en_US |
