An enlightening post. I am enjoying your “frames” at the top of the post. That they are monochromatic is just perfect.

Interesting post. I had never heard of her either. It was sad..yet would her art and hauntingly beautiful words be the same without the sadness? Just something to ponder.

Women do seem to struggle with these issues more so than men, but I do think things are finally changing. Just the differences in the generations in my family is amazing..we have five generations (the oldest is my Grandmother 101 in a few weeks).

You always make me think, and it goes without saying..I love your art. Your organic shapes are fascinating!

Thank you for sharing.

Darren,

I agree with your analysis over what happened to Christiana. No one would listen to her ideas (essentially erased her from history) so she became sublimated to these men.

The ideas of Jung fascinate me, but now I wonder how other people influenced him. Sure, there was Freud. We all know that. But I had never heard of Chritiana.

There are so many women who struggle with these issues. Either that, or it goes unconscious, into the underground. It’s depressing. Maybe if both energies are recoginized as vital in society (anima and animus) we won’t have to much taboo or thwarting of our natural selves.

Thanks for this work. Your site requires thoughtful analysis. The best kind. E

Wow Daz, I had never heard of her. How sad,you are right. She should have been able to see your art.
Your art makes me smile. Maybe it would have helped her.
What a waste of talent. sad, sad sad.
