Life Abstracted
Pure Research 19 – Nita Bowerman
Research focus
To investigate expressive states that authentically transfer feeling-memory and amplify expressive impact. To what extent can the expression of lived traumas be abstracted without losing emotional resonance? Might abstraction also serve to invite an observer more deeply, honestly and unselfconsciously into a trauma?
