Archetypes

I have been very influenced by the writings of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell. It feels intuitively right that there are archetypal structures within our human psyches that give rise to creative acts in every culture of every time. I have felt a compelling need to give them form within our contemporary media.

Mandalas are also archetypal images - there is a separate section on them.
