Window Box Gallery 1313 April 2- April 26
Mindless Doodles Art Therapy
Installation by Angela Chao
The installation “Mindless Doodles Art Therapy” in Gallery 1313s Window
Box space for the month of April dives into the life of Canadian filmmaker,
Angela Chao, who uses the term Mindless Doodles to denote the images she
sees that are not pre-conceived or arranged. These doodles come straight
from the emotions and sensations of her current “crazy brain, the result
of three on-set concussions she has suffered over the past one and a half
years.
After trying many types of therapy, she found HandsForHealth.ca
<http://handsforhealth.ca/ > and cranio-therapist Edwin Galeano, with whom –
affter just one session – Angela found herself able to think freely and
begin to escape the personality and mental changes, PTSD, depression and
anxiety that had plagued her since her accidents. Even more exhilarating,
she could sit still and accomplish things, an ability to that had been
taken from her. She started doodling and discovered her hidden artist, and
a place where she can leave behind mental challenges and be free to create.
