Michael Franklin: “Art as Contemplative Practice: Expressive Pathways to the Self”

Abstract

Arts as a contemplative practice allows expression of oneself and a unique descent into emotions, and at the same time, connection with culture and spirit. This solitary but not lonely journey resonates with the paradoxical coexistence of different phenomena in our lives. This book not only describes the processes and experiences of art as a contemplative practice, its insights and inspiration, if contemplated, can be extended and expanded to many aspects, regardless of discipline and culture
