Susie MacMurray

This piece titled "Rubber Gloves" by Susie MacMurray straight away gives me a feeling of strong desperation. The dress is delicate and demonstrates elegance. This artwork gives me the impression that the woman wearing the dress is just longing for someone to reach out to her. It is as if she just needs to grab hold of anyone she can reach. There is clearly some deep fear coming through this artwork. It is giving off very strong negative and abandoned energies... well to me anyway. I don't like how this makes me feel.

The Inkblot Test

The inkblot test (also called the "Rorschach" test) is a method of psychological evaluation. Psychologists use this test in an attempt to examine the personality characteristics and emotional functioning of their patients. This test is often employed in diagnosing underlying thought disorders and differentiating psychotic from non-psychotic thinking in cases where the patient is reluctant to openly admit to psychotic thinking.

Archetypes

Archetypes are visual symbols or energetic imprints that exist in our psyches. Some are readily understood while others bring subliminal messages that are there to help you trigger your memory of why you are here and the truth behind the illusion of reality. Archetypes can often convey messages that verbal and written information cannot.

Archetypes are found everywhere, as their symbols are a language of the mind, taken to different frequencies of thought and connected to each other by the collective unconsciousness. There are individual and universal archetypes. You become aware of them in meditation, dreamtime, remote viewing or other out-of-body experiences, when you doodle on a pad, crop circles or landscape art, other art forms, jewelry, hieroglyphs, a logo, on a billboard, anywhere at all. Archetypes can also be auditory, a tone, a series of notes, a harmonic. Reality is a series of metaphors set into motion by the synchronicity of archetypes we experience.

The term Archetype began with Carl Jung. In Jung's terms, 'Archetype' is defined as the first original model of which all other similar persons, objects, or concepts are merely derivative, copied, patterned, or emulated. These patterns derive from a universal collective unconscious which in metaphysics is called the Grids, Akashic Records, Sea of Consciousness, that which creates our reality In this context, archetypes are innate prototypes for ideas, which may subsequently become involved in the interpretation of observed phenomena.

Master or Universal archetypes are created by the patterns of Sacred Geometry. The remainder are derivatives of these patterns.

The Creator


I took this test and my result was that I am the CREATOR:
When the Creator is active within a person, that person is discovering or creating a more adequate sense of Self. At best, this new identity leads to a more fulfilling and effective life. At worst, it is simply an experiment, and the person retreats or goes back to the drawing board to start over.

Donna Marcus



This woman was so inspiring to listen to, the way she has just followed a passion and an interest. She has become everything she could have wished for; a loving woman with a beautiful family and an amazing down to earth artist. I only met her during an art lesson one day but she gives of such gentle vibes. When I first walked into the class room and saw her i immediately felt her nurturing personality, it was a motherly feel with such a gentle and delicate way of communicating.
I think her artworks are just wonderful. I really love her style and i definitely have felt a close connection between myself and her sculptures. I felt this connection quite strongly with the centipedes made from teapots.
