“I painted this box black on the outside to represent the front I put on when I meet people. Even though I’m a people pleaser, I put up a tough exterior. Inside, I chose a purple glittery colour because I can be eccentric, but that depends on how I am feeling. There are a few things on the inside that are on the outside, as I know some people see me how I feel about myself.” This participant gave me consent to share #insideoutsidebox #creativeandexperientialtherapies #artisth

“I forgot the principles of colour theory and didn’t expect green. Underneath is the trans flag. I didn’t plan for this outcome and had to improvise due to a lack of white.

“This piece was made slowly, step by step. Each stage needed time to dry before I could move forward. Being patient helped me focus on one process at a time and notice the progress as it happened.” This participant gave me permission to share #creativeandexperientialtherapies #creativeexperientialart #creativeandexperiential #creativetherapy #experientialtherapy

“The idea behind this piece is a smooth, polished armor being overtaken by messy, organic elements. It represents how we can put on a mask for ourselves or others, but the things we try to hide or suppress will inevitably resurface and consume us.” This participant gave me consent to share #creativeandexperientialtherapies #creativetherapy #creativeandexperientialtherapist #creativetherapist #puppetart
