• Pictures of A Childhood
  by Julie Marks

  When I am working on my bark abstracts, I strive to create a diversity of imagery, color and texture to allow the viewer to project what …

  Alice Miller, an eminent Psychiatrist who wrote many important books on child abuse including Breaking Down the Walls of Silence, Banished Knowledge, and many others discovered her own traumatic memories of abuse through painting and published a book, Pictures Of A Childhood with over 60 plates of her paintings. She is a gifted writer and has contributed profoundly to the field of psychiatry, especially disclosing her own journey to emerge from the dark memories buried in the unconscious giving form to terrifyng images illuminating her path to self discovery uncovering traumatic memories of child abuse. Her fascinating watercolors were the key to connecting her childhood memories as she came to grips with the demons of her past. Dr. Miller first book, the Drama of the Gifted Child is most known;however, her many books on domestic violence have helped many including prison inmates, some of whom she was able to rehabilitate uncovering tragic accounts of childhood that led those who were unaware of the roots of their violent actions to understand their patterns of abuse. Helping offenders bring their frozen feelings to life is the best safeguard against repetition of crime. If we save one person or sentient animal that is a victim of abuse and human cruelty, our efforts are well worth our devotion and commitment. Like dreams, my painterly abstracts contribute to my personal revelations through free association, active imagination and projections of a vast array of imagery using natural elements found in nature like bark, rocks, plants etc. I look forward to reading your perceptions as you exercise your creative imagination. I have found that my visual acuity has developed as the world has taken form in many “Rorshach” projections that I see in my abstracts. Iconic vision, seeing a distinct image before the gestalt (the image as a whole) is a type of perception we all have in varying degrees. The more we use our projective vision, the more we will perceive in the natural world and in our artwork. The more I look, the more I see. Sometimes I will revisit one of my pieces and more images will appear in unexpected places. It is a fascinating journey in the conquest of inner space.
