the artist lives and works in Christchurch , New Zealand

I live in Christchurch, New Zealand, and was born in 1944. I have been a psychotherapist for 25 years, listening to the many stories that have come from what Jung calls the collective unconscious. During that time, I have been “gestating” my own expression.

For many years I thought I’d enroll in art school when I retired, a fantasy built on my love of drawing as a child. I realised I’d need to do do something to re-awaken and update my childhood affinity - thus the idea of a thousand sketches in a year. The rest clicked into place: put them online, make it a cyber-project, don’t retire.

I have learned things and had realizations through doing this work. Thousand Sketches is not a totally new turn in my life, it is a development of my years of exploration of the psyche in cyberspace, documented in my other blog & website. It explores a medium, a method and my own creative process in an open forum. As someone remarked at the physical public launch on 2 November 2006, it is a performance. As the project develops I become clearer about my process. My latest statement is on the project’s home page. www.thousandsketches.com
