Inspired by the work of Joseph Campbell on stories as psychological maps usable by the individual for personal exploration, transformation, and healing, Lucy Claire Curran uses prose, poetry, and mixed media artwork to chronicle her personal journey through depression and anxiety in order to alchemize these experiences and provide an example for others who want to explore how the expressive arts--and in particular storytelling--can be used to work through difficult experiences and come out the other side whole and empowered.
