Title

“An Inquiry Into An Imaginal Landscape”
An MA(Hons) Thesis, The University of Western Sydney, 2001.

 

Abstract

Describes an inquiry undertaken into the nature and genesis of landscapes experienced imaginally. The inquiry proceeds by introspection, by art making, and by exploring related writings. Uses the terms pre-conceptual and pre-imaginal to refer to an unknowable dimension, from which the conceptual and the imaginal arise, and attempts to confirm the conceptual and the imaginal as expressions and effects of this dimension. Explores the possibilities of a continual interplay between the imaginal and the pre-imaginal in the inner life of writers and artists.
