Once upon a time... we used to lay on our Backs, look up at the sky and call out the things We imagined we could see in the Clouds as they floated By. We decided what we saw in the starry night, in inkblot tests. And sometimes had someone to tuck us in and read to us before we could read to ourselves. We humans have always been a Storytelling people. We both survive and thrive by them. But the 21st century has dulled down the tools we are born with that help us discern and shape the stories of our lives. We don't need a reset... Just a revisionist approach to looking at the visuals life gives us to play with.
But the reason this book is in your hands now is due to the surprising effect those collages had on patrons and visitors to the multimedia art installations that she showcased her books via 'on the road' style ...that went beyond the taboo premises of her dark fantasy series. People had cathartic episodes in her exhibitions, seeing things from their own tales embedded in the collages that healed their storylines. & Kids...would dance around her costumes, telling each other the stories they saw in the oversized digital imagery. Children reminded her that the collages were clouds to them, and they could see whatever they wanted to in them.
With all the changes in education the parts of the brain that deal with creativity, imagination & comprehension are shutting down. Plus, with incessant screen time the important oxytocin-rich bonding experience of adults reading to kids & encouraging them to fearlessly explore new worlds has all but been erased. Being the hero of your own fairytales is what built out your imagination as a child in the first place. Joseph Campbell has proven to adults that the power never fades with The Power of Myth & Carl Jung spoke about the stories your subconscious tells you just beneath the surface. You can change what you see all around you by leaning in to telling yourself silly stories that make sense to your soul again. You don't need a new tech gadget...you just need to reframe & recalibrate the psy-fi physio-tech you were born with.
It's not just the kids that need to learn how to dream and imagine again. There's a really simple, sweet reason that Manifestation as a concept is so big these days. We all feel that our abilities to imagine, to play pretend, to hope and dream consciously are fading... minds and memories are turning to mush. Someone is trying to program us... who may not have the best intents. Our brains could use a workout, as much as the kids in our lives can when it comes to re-learning how to tell stories to ourselves just to see what we come up with & where we can imagine going once again.
May this art monograph in the grievechronic revisionist collection help you have fun making your brain work out in the 21st century for you. There are no words beyond this intro in this volume. But there is whitespace around the Angel Brynner AOLAB collages that you are encouraged to fill with the tales you come up with riffing off the imagery. Some racy images may be scattered across the collection. AB had a penchant for National Geographic while in world-building mode. Nothing obscene, just be sure to Vet before handing it over to a kid- that's a norm with all things these days.
But above all else enjoy the ride.
