Something works behind the veil of fantastic images, whether we give this something a good name or a bad.  It is something real, and for this reason its manifestations must be taken seriously.  -C.G. Jung

In her lecture, Jane Zich will explore impressions of the transcendent function based on her Vision Journey painting series.  This image-mediated dialogue with the unconscious, which has spanned twelve years, was initiated by the arrival of a numinous blue Panther. Panther’s presence not only opened the possibility of an “I-Thou” relationship with imagery, but also became a symbol of the transcendent function.  Paintings from the Vision Journey series, and experiences during that painting process, will be examined as Panther’s metaphorical footprints. We will explore these “tracks” to see what they seem to reveal to us about the transcendent function, about its course and patterns of movement, and about the circumstances or psychological terrains in which the transcendent function is apt to become most apparent to us. Applications to clinical contexts will be discussed.
