I wanna be a psycho-iconographer when I grow up!!































Here's what Mr. Brown has to say about those directly above ^^^
"These three drawings reveal a 20-year-old girl after an acute catatonic episode, which was her reaction to her impending marriage. In Fig. 39 she portrays herself as the bride she was to be. In Fig. 40 she introduces us to the groom, a leering, rabbity fellow. The seriousness of her view of the marriage relationship becomes apparent in Fig. 41, a grotesque, hairy animal. Her revulsion against sexual intimacy induced this and other frightful animal fantasies. Her enjoyment and subsequent guilt over breast fondling led her to dream of herself as the hypermastic hairy animal and explains perhaps why the dot, sign of self, is incorporated as the nipple of the left breast. In animalizing the dream process of retrograde metamorphosis, bestial hairiness is emphasized, since her coming marriage threatened her with feral tergiversation, from which the mind strom of catatonic schizophrenia was protection. When the self-concept of sanity is menaced too greatly, there is refuge only in the nonsane state where self-integrity is secretly preserved, often by the inversion of the self-image."
BUT DON'T WORRY. Psycho-iconographers like happy endings too!!!


AHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH
