The Artistic Process, Therapy, and Growth: A Discussion with Terry Hanson, PhD & Peter Hopkins, MA

  • to

Center for Object Relations
2800 First Ave, Suite 117
Seattle, WA 98121
United States

Sponsored by: COR

In this informal evening event, we will look at the artistic process and its relation to psychotherapy and personal growth. We will view two short documentary style videos on the contemporary artists Vija Celmins and Liz Magor. Both women speak openly about their work and process, one as primarily a painter and the other a sculptor. The discussion to follow will focus on a number of topics, including the influence of art and the artistic process on therapy, as well as the impact of these two artists and their ideas on the group. The primary goal of this event will be to discuss together our experience of listening to these women, as well as our own experience of the relation of art, non-linear thought, emotional and aesthetic experience, both in therapy and in other aspects of our lives. Terry and Peter will provide various personal and clinical examples, and the group will also be encouraged to share from their own experience as well. This event is open to anyone interested in art and its influence on human growth.
