THE
DREAM ART OF
MARIA DE LOS ANGELES TAVERAS
"DREAM ART" derives inspiration FROM
THE RED BOOK,THE PRIVATE JOURNAL IN WHICH C.G.JUNG
RECORDED HIS "ACTIVE IMAGINATIONS."
In the Red Book, Jung transcribed his dreams and fantasies and illustrated them in beautiful colors. The Red Book resembles a medieval illuminated manuscript or the engraved visions of the romantic poet William Blake.
The Red Book exemplifies the technique that Jung calls "active imaginations." Active imagination is the Jungian method for engaging in a dialogue with images that spontaneously and autonomously emerge from the collective unconscious in dreams and fantasies.
This is the technique that I draw from to create my " Dream Art." I sculpt and paint the psyche. I create works of art using archetypal images from my own dreams. It is a creative process that I call "interactive morphing." (Morpheus is the god of dreams in Greek mythology.) As Jung does in the Red Book, I engage in a dialogue, or conversation, with the images that emerge from the collective unconscious in my dreams, and then I render these images as sculptures and paintings.
The Red Book, which is now being published as a facsimile edition and English translation, is being exhibited publicly for the first time ever at the Rubin Museum of Art in New York City from October 7, 2009, to January 25, 2010 (www.rmanyc.org/events/load/308.)
