August Dreamzines

 

Hello Dreamers!

This I believe:

Dreaming, and Art, are forms of resistance. Psyche is alive and working on us even as we sleep; tending to the dream images with art-making gives us resilience for the future.

Hope you can join this Sunday or next month; the in-person gatherings have been so full of hope and joy!

Dream the dream onward into your art/journal pages

 In-person Make Your Own DreamZine workshops coming up in Santa Fe, NM, fourth Sundays:

I’ve added an additional workshop July 20^th (as the July 27^th group has filled! 😊 ) 1pm-4pm . Next up after that will be August 24^th same time… Contact me for registration or more information.

 What is a DreamZine, you might ask…. I see it as a kind of graphic novel for our psyche, not exactly a depiction of the dream images (though it can be that) but a bit like dreaming the dream onward into the pages of our visual journals. A way of seeding new images that can sprout into new forms. Summer rain has really prompted plant growth in my yard, those bright green shades of “weeds” popping up, some of which are beneficial to the birds, and others that create stickers in my dog’s paws… Psyche can be like that.... nourishing and, well, sometimes sticker-y.

So my journal pages evolve between text and image, a kind of free-form play, returning to dream images (sometimes just a flash) and back into the collage/paint/threading. I’ve been stitching string and thread into my accordion journal along with the water soluble wax pastels… I’ve been really enjoying this art medium…

 Here’s to creativity as a form of resilience during these most difficult times.

In-person Make Your Own DreamZine workshops coming up in Santa Fe, NM, 4^th Sundays:  Next up June 22^nd and July 27^th, 1pm-4pm. $48 includes all art materials, tea and snacks. Contact me for registration or more information.

The dream provides a seed for creating collage/painting/doodling in your visual art journal; a

dreamzine for your soul to read back to you, a kind of graphic magazine of the psyche.

Here’s to creativity as a form of resilience during these most difficult times. We will be exploring landscape/ land memories as a way of remembering the environments of dreams—a place to walk into, breathe and and feel into the sensate qualities of dream as environment. What art making might unfold from this contemplation? Let’s explore together!

Next DreamZine workshop May 25th

 

Make Your Own DreamZines workshops continue this Spring! 

with Rebecca Peterson Windows to the Soul Art Studios

 Even though Lilac Season is here again (such Beauty and Aroma!) I am feeling a little stressed out in these trying times... How about you? Creating art, both in community and at my little art table in my casita with my doggies, provides respite for my mind and soul. I love using my dreams as kinds of seeds in my visual art "DreamZine" journal. The images seem to sprout on the pages, taking their own innate forms as the artwork unfolds. Lately I've been adding stitching and thread to the paper across the accordion folds. Needle and threads are both loose and ask a kind of precision as well. Threading a needle is a whole other metaphor!

Next in-person workshop will be held Sunday May 25th, 1pm-4pm, in Santa Fe. $48 includes all materials: accordion journal, art materials (collage, paints, glues) beverages and light snacks. Location in a quiet and pleasant private art studio, accessible with easy parking, .
