Update ...

Last Monday was Valentine's Day ...

 

 

 and WonderWoman took me to lunch at Ponzu.

We both had a delicious Chicken Katsu bento box. Oishi! And, she brought me beautiful tulips!

A large vase of beautiful tulips, but today when five tulips bent and tried to escape, I moved the five to a smaller vase.

The Brain Chemistry of Collage

 

 

* In Kolaj #24, author, mental health professional, and collage artist Laurie Kanyer considers what is going on in the brain when an artist is making collage.

When an artist creates a collage, they use areas of the brain and body systems that calm the body and tap into creative problem solving.

Additionally, collage making meets emotional needs, providing the artist a tool to identify and express feelings and life experiences. By making a collage, people do not have to be emotionally constipated. It provides provides a way to put into the world events that are too hard or possibly even unsafe to speak out loud. The benefit of the symbolic representation of a feeling is that the creator can express, see and share that feeling in a collage.
