Artist’s Bucket list / Brainstorm, October 2015
Overview
A brainstorming / bucket list based on topics and themes initiated in the project mind-map, that can be traced to an identifiable owner in some way.
Project Goals
1. The works must address the need to capture the attention of viewers to induce a reflective, positive affect that engages as a contemplative and meditative aesthetic.
2. A sub-message is intended to raise awareness of our inability to “let go of things” - causing daily self-induced stress, which can lead to negative well-being, anxiety, mental ill-health and eventually clinical depression if not resolved.
3. The theme of "things left behind" is intended to remind ourselves of the need to remember, to avoid unresolved losses or grief, (which is unhelpful to recovery) - yet a necessary part of the liminal state of the final stage of coping with loss & grief, during the transition necessary to give ourselves permission to ‘let go', and hence to move on positively.Brainstorm / Bucket list of ideas & objects (Having an identifiable ‘owner’).
