Abstract
The purpose of this project has been to work closely with my childhood dream over a 2 year period in order to discover how it manifests in my painting practice. My central research question is ‘how do the essential energies contained within the dream influence my painting practice?’ This project is an example of arts-based research, within the theoretical framework of Process Work. I have incorporated process work innerwork methods into my painting practice to approach the above research questions, and then I’ve self-reflected on the findings. The project is aimed at an audience interested in process work, and also other visual artists. This thesis discusses my process of making sixteen small paintings. A contribution is made to the field of Process Work as this project stands as an example of working with a childhood dream over a long time. It also introduces the language of picture construction as a way of amplifying experience in the visual channel. Simultaneously, the language and methods of process work are introduced to an art audience. This project bridges the disciplines of visual art and psychology.
