Survivor Art Warning

The New Jane

Jane's New World - by grace2244 on Polyvore.com

I wondered who this was. Jane has always been very properly dressed and well coiffed. Apparently since our fusion she's gotten comfy in casual. I never know what the collage will be as I start. I felt the release in this one--remembering the trauma but finally achieving a true life. You can see her loves are the little things. Even that gorgeous little view out the window in Tuscany.

Healing through images

In going through one of my many storage containers of pictures ripped from magazines, plastic folders of images that seemed to go together, collages that were never figured out, images of insiders...perps...and other victims (?), I was reminded how much art was and remains an amazing part of my healing process. My subconscious life in pictures in boxes. Although most survivor "art" is revealing trauma, I did love seeing alters as they grew up and/or healed.

Even though what worked for me may not work for other survivors, I created this blog to share some of what was revealed to me through images and collages. It's possible what I display will make no sense to others, especially since the only way they connected or had meaning was when I was told from the inside...that aha moment and freaky triggering that's actually a good thing.

I would like to reinforce that my messages do not necessarily mean the same thing for any other survivor. No one else can give meaning to your art except you. Welcome to my world of artistic genious―not mine―my inner wisdom and internal guidance.
