A woman smashes the colored bottles her daughter collected before she died by suicide and makes an owl out of the pieces. A man hangs his fiance’s wedding dress inside the Temple at Burn…
The Archetypal Artist: Reimagining Creativity and the Call to Create
“It is generally the creative artist who creates the future. A civilization that has no creative people is doomed. So the person who is really in touch with the future, with the germs of the future, is the creative personality.”
~ Marie Louise von Franz
Depth Psychology has long maintained a paradoxical position to creativity and to the creative individual. On one hand, the artist is singled o…
