Rhizomatic Collective Unconscious Dreamcatcher _ From the Soul

Claire Elizabeth Barratt (Cilla Vee Life Arts) & The Sacred Dance Guild of Ottawa.

The "Rhizomatic Collective Unconscious Dreamcatcher" is a sculptural installation and performance that draws on traditions of weaving and the Native American dreamcatcher to express recurring forms in nature of the mycorrhizal fungi under the forest floor and the neural networks of the human brain – and how our collective unconscious plays out in archetypal symbols, myths and dreams.
