Introduction
This book began at a conference by the River Thames in London, July 2006. In the hot summer air and green trees of the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, Psyche and Imagination’ was held in conjunction with the University of Greenwich, and was the first independent conference of the International Association of Jungian Studies. Chapter 1: ART, IMAGINATION AND PSYCHE: A JOURNEY BY WATER
I offer this paper in two guises, partly as a creative artist, partly as a Jungian critic. What I hope to do is to put some of my own work in the context of Jungian themes, and make some observations about how a Jungian understanding of the life of the psyche informs my own experience as an artist. | |

This is the value of these stories, this is the value of the impressions they awakened and the memories they evoked. Such value is an invitation to look carefully at them and, who knows, indulge oneself in the experience of interacting with them. (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.) | |
