Who Am I?
My name is Lindsey Matousek. I have just recently graduated Cum Laude from Cazenovia College earning my BFA. My Senior Thesis Capstone dealt with psychoanalyst Carl G. Jung(Swiss 1875-1961), his theories on personality and how there are many archetypes that form who you are as a person. I discussed using Joseph Campbell(New York 1904-1987) and the four main archetypes, the self, the persona, the shadow and the animus/anima, how artists take these archetypes and place them either consciously or unconsciously into their artwork. You may look at my own artwork here.
What is the Purpose?
In this blog I will take artwork by both established and emerging artists and deconstruct them using my own observations and the theories of Jung. I hope to expand the reader's minds to different interpretations of artwork and perhaps generate discussion in the future. All artwork will be credited to the artist and if available a link will be provided to their website.
Updating
During these first couple weeks there will most likely be lots of updating as I have an entire sketchbook filled and dedicated to this act of deconstruction. After I have completed uploading this sketchbook I will most likely update every Friday.
Questions/Comments
If you have something that you would like me to deconstruct or just have a general question or comment you can contact me at LindseyMatousek@gmail.com or leave a comment below. I check my e-mail everyday so I will get back to you in a timely manner.
Thank you for reading and I look forward to sharing my views!
