I am not sure if this is the correct venue for this request, if it is not would someone who knows about these things post it where it should be.
I am an Honours student in Brisbane Australia.
My thesis is about abuse, trauma, affect in visual art.
Leornad Shengold names child abuse "Soul Murder", the soul is the psyche.
In Greek, psyche and butterfly are the same word.
What I am asking is for members of ACEs Connection to draw a butterfly that speaks of their childhood experience, write in one or two lines their experience and email this and the drawing to me at; phosterich@bigpond,com.
I will be making art works in metal out of these butterflies.
The works will be completely anonymous.
When the body of work is complete i will post images of the work onto this site.
Your support in this venture is most appreciated because it is also part of my therapeutic program.
Kind regards,
Christopher Hardwick
