Lino-cut
Sometimes you’ve just got to post things even when they’re not new! For some back-story on these lino-cuts, see my Gestalt Journal paper.
I was interested to depict some ideas on self and identity, and how these are understood in the Gestalt model. The “self” in this model is considered to be more “at the boundary”, at the interface to the other, than at an individually-constructed centre.
The lino-cuts are about an experience of multiple, morphing “selflets” (multiple selves) that, although retaining some sense of a permanent centre, have also an amoebic, mutating quality, their boundaries permeable membranes through which dialogue occurs.
