Thou Art, I Am: Discovery and Recovery in the Art-making Process

This chapter explores the experience of making visual art and its interface with mental wellbeing. It draws on data from empirical narrative research with mentally ill artists (Sagan, 2014). Observant of the lived experience of participants and of the meanings made by them of their particular processes of making art, the research is couched within what is still known as the 'new paradigm' for psychology (Smith, Hare & Langenhove, 1995). This paradigm, borne of the well-founded worry that the application of psychology dehumanised people (Reason & Rowan, 1981) is one driven more to understanding and description than to measuring-and towards determining social rather than statistical significance. The messages of research within this paradigm are often side-lined, not considered as offering hard evidence. However, these messages provide important insights into the experience of being human and how that human makes sense of that experience as part of her very being.
