The unconscious mind houses your ticks, habits, fears, imagination, and re- pressed memories. It is, in short, what makes you, you. The unconscious mind is perpetually trying to communi- cate something about ourselves to us. I translate these messages by drawing as free flowing and rapidly as possible. I translate thoughts onto paper as I have them in that moment. In this process I allow myself to wander my mind with- out expectation, logic, or rational. Through my process, I show that imag- ination and logic can co-exist. That being imaginative or creative isn’t a practice that we should stop at an adolescent age. Likewise, mature logic doesn’t have to limit one’s imagination or mindfulness. Exploring one’s uncon- scious mind should be held with as much importance, if not more, as logic is in today’s society.
