Art & Archetypes
Grandmother Spider / The Selkie—on Specialty & Breadth
Join us for a free adventure through story and meaning as storyteller, teacher, and Artlounge Collective founder K Ryan Henisey expands on the myths of Grandmother Spider and The Selkie. Using mythology and fairytales as a springboard, we explore the meaning of stories as they relate to creative life. In the myths of Grandmother Spider and The Sellkie, the titular characters demonstrate the power of specialization and generalization. Artists and creatives reflect both sides of the specialty spectrum in their creative process, illustrating different parts of the old phrase: “jack of all trades is master of none, but oftentimes better than master of one.”
Art & Archetypes is four-part series on myths and meaning. Each session, recurring over the summer of 2023, uses Jungian Psychological Analysis to expand on the richness of stories and archetypes on the lives of creatives. K Ryan Henisey is an award-winning artist and founder of Artlounge Collective. He holds a Masters in English Literature with an emphasis on mythology and children’s literature.
Art & Archetypes continues with the following sessions through summer:
