Making Sense utilises art practice as a pro-active way of thinking
that helps us to make sense of the world. It does this by
developing an applied understanding of how we can use art as a
method of healing and as a critical method of research. Drawing
from poststructuralist philosophy, psychoanalysis, arts therapies,
and the creative processes of a range of contemporary artists, the
book appeals to the fields of art theory, the arts therapies,
aesthetics and art practice, whilst it opens the regenerative
affects of art-making to everyone. It does this by proposing the
agency of 'transformative therapeutics', which defines how art
helps us to make sense of the world, by activating, nourishing and
understanding a particular world view or situation therein. The
purpose of the book is to question and understand how and why art
has this facility and power, and make the creative and healing
properties of certain modes of expression widely accessible,
practical and useful.
