GREETINGS.
Creativity is an inherently human gift. Everyone has it within themselves- the ability to create, out of their own ingenuity, a visual, musical or other form of interpretation of something. It is an important part in recalling our history, studying our psyche, observing our world, and exploring new ideas. Mental illness, or madness, has for a long time been connected with creativity; ‘creatives’ such as writers and visual artists, especially, are often expected to have some degree of madness.
There are many reasons for this; and it’s a subject I’ve been thinking about for a long time. So, when our project in year 12 Media was set for the semester, I decided to make PSYCHONIGHTMARE: a zine looking at this subject, and exploring the history of it, and what people think of it. The process of making a zine is quite tedious- and so I thank everyone who’s helped me in the process (see a list on the end page).
So welcome to PSYCHONIGHTMARE, Issue One; prepare yourself to explore the unknown….
