Sherry L. Ackerman, Ph.D., calls her work Art of the Archetypes. She is interested in art brut, finding it transformational, reflective, explorative and self-revealing. Contemplation of the archetypes provides a lens through which one has an opportunity to experience liberation from narrowly individual, egoistic I-ness. Ackerman’s work asks viewers to de-construct every assumption that they have ever held….to ask ‘Why?’ and to become okay with not-knowing. She urges the viewer to suspend the conscious mind and let the unconscious surface…allowing the archetypes to arise….in a journey to liberation from societal conditioning, externally legislated morality and normative thinking. She believes that getting beyond one’s ideas…and discovering the context of one’s own thinking…is liberating. |
