"The experience that furnishes the material for the
visionary mode of artistic creation is a primordial experience which
surpasses man’s understanding. It arises from timeless depth; it is
foreign cold, demonic and grotesque. It rends from top to bottom the
curtain upon which the picture of an ordered world is painted. We are
astonished, taken aback, confused, even disgusted—and we demand
explanations." – C.G. Jung
"The pictures of Lydia Lawrence Strawbridge…reveal the
numinous images that arise from the unconscious. The artist has an
ability to tap the up-wellings from the collective unconscious and her
pictures reveal symbolic images of the archetypes of opposites: good &
evil, the beautiful & grotesque, and the temporal & eternal..."
