365 Emotional Diary

Project type

Intuitive Drawings

Date

2020

In 2017 I set myself the challenge to draw one picture a day. Inspired by E. Gendlin's Mind-body Focusing method - that each artwork comes about a short mindfulness focus exercise, to check-in with myself, to identify my 'felt-sense' or emotion for that particular issue of the day as a whole. And then - draw how this felt-sense would look like. This daily routine was very therapeutic for me, and it helped to tune-in to myself. It strengthened the contact with my intuitive and emotional Self. In 2020 I repeated the exercise - little did I know that Covic-19 would strike and the effects of lock-down and the likes would additionally influence my visual journey. However, I still recorded my emotional diary daily and here are some images of this year-long creative path.
