Art from Dreams

My Jungian Journey in Collage, Assemblage, and Poetry

“The Art and Poetry in this book stand on their on their own in terms of beauty and transcendence, but for those also interested in work inspired by dreams and Carl Jung, be prepared for something magical.” – Nancy Furlotti, Jungian Dream Analyst

“The author’s undertaking of personal exploration through the dual lens of dreamwork and expressive arts was transformative.” – Shana Nyes Dambrot, Art Critic and Curator

Instincts can malfunction
Become defective, deficient, half-baked
There should be a recipe for Motherhood
Exact measurements
The precise amount of ingredient
Or else sweets for no one

JOY OF NOW
36 " x 36 " x 5 "
Mixed-media, found objects, wood

A swan chariot
on dancing butterflies
To my coronation!

Fate — FATE
32" x 17" x 2"
Found objects on wood

We carry forth our ancestry
Disassembled elements
Threads of silent memory
Ancient struggles our heredity
though fortunes differ
We carry forth our ancestry
in resurrected anxiety
visible in our temperament
indelible thoughts and memories
Distant spirits are a mystery
bewilderment of the immigrant
We carry on our ancestry
forging many destinies
which one day will be remnants
Threads of silent memory
Onward through the centuries
escorted by these tenants
we carry forth our ancestry
Threads of silent memory

MOVEMENT
1 8 " x 3 0 " x 7 "
Found objects on wood

Our sacred journey
to consciousness
spirals from the center.
We swirl with the current,
wisdom expands
distant but close
