This is a growing collection of 402 gesture drawings that I have been creating for the last 4 years as part of an exploration of how the limbic brain operates, our emotional brain. The images are created from inner child work exercises, mental health explorations, and exploring how emotions operate in the body to gain insight into the messages that the unconscious mind has to offer. This is a project to learn and appreciate how imagination and a willingness to let go into an emotional space can create surprising and rich visual experiences for those who view the work.
