'Beady Eye' Ralph (pseudo name)

The purpose of my practice is in response to therapy sessions with individual clients. Immediately or soon after a session I will make something to help contain the part-processed feelings which become aroused. There is a powerful discharge and release of complex affects during my clinical work-so making something gives me the space to reflect or explore something from that experience. I have full trust in creative gestures and symbols to support understanding and deepen empathy and attunement to others.
