Welcome to PSYCHONIGHTMARE, issue one. It is the brainchild of Catherine Claessens; a major project for her year 12 media class, the culmination of ideas that have been floating around in her head for a while now. Catherine is an artist, some-time writer and observer/recorder of art within life; occasional performance artist too.
Since watching films like The Hours, making friends who live with these conditions whilst expressing themselves creatively, and reading psychological studies, it was decided to make a whole zine exploring the idea of the connections between madness or mental illness, and creativity. Inspiration for making a zine is acknowledged to Grandma's House, as well as all other Canberra zine publications.
(IN HANDWRITING):
Person = x (sum of experience) + y (origin)
:. If x is of greater value than y, more creative processes are required to deal with life. If y is greater than x, then there is higher likelihood of 'stability' in the person.
(Joel Hollands)
