Book Reviews of Drawing it Out: Befriending the Unconscious (A Contemporary Woman's Psychedelic Journey)
Book Review: "Beautifully written, beautifully drawn."
Summary: 5 Stars
In this deeply moving and courageous account of personal transformation, artist Sherana Frances offers the reader a unique glimpse into the psyche of the creative spirit. In the 60's, Frances was part of a controlled study of the effects of LSD. During that experience, she drew from herself a kind of artistic expression that became her own unique path on her journey of self-discovery. She literally and figuratively drew it out. The astonishing a sensuous series of sixty-one drawings, created at that time and over the decades that followed, is accompanied in this book by a poignant, intensely personal written account of her life challenges and the evolution of her consciousness. It is not unusual for people to use journal-writing as a tool of personal exploration. Frances, however, has chosen drawing as her tool, resulting in an entirely unusual process of epiphany and self-revelation. This book is as beautifully written as it is beautifully drawn, and the candor of her account reveals the author's uncommon courage. Explaining his own artistic motivation, Andrew Wyeth wrote, "I think one's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes." Nowhere is that more evident than in Sherana Frances's DRAWING IT OUT.
