Connecting with the Unconscious Mind

By Fausto Pauluzzi faustop

Icon_comments Comments

80 pages
The book contains a collection of images made by distorting normal photographs of places and things; it presents colorful abstractions. The purpose of the abstractions is to stimulate your unconscious mind into revealing itself (as do Rorschach images); it further aims at delighting your aesthetic sensitivity. To accompany the images and to buttress the explanatory information given in the book's introduction, there are quotes on the creative process taken from famous artists and thinkers.
