Dear Ken,
Oddly, I am actually reading at present 'man and the symbol' which follows
this dream theory but written by Jung. It does cover some interesting
points on the unconscious with interesting references to artists. I've
only just started it though so am unsure where it will lead to. Thanks
anyhow for your freedback. I have recently been doing some digital drwaing
and I was amazed at how addictive and experimental it can be if you just let
yourself play with it rather than set out to complete a certain image. I
think that it can be an interesting tool for ideas and experiments. I
personally though do enjoy the tactile quality of working with raw material
and I find that it is perhaps more sensitive and subtle.
Sylvia.
