Seeing with an Unconscious Eye

Any call to ways of seeing, understanding and caring through poetic inquiry as a creative approach to research would not be complete without the inclusion of the unconscious. That is the forgotten, repressed and denied aspects of one’s personal, familial, cultural, and collective unconscious. To illustrate the centrality of this autonomous element to the creative process, I highlight the work of Emily Carr and its capacity to reflect her ability to live more consciously through the urge of the art complex.
