Jo Harley Nakayama-Painter

I’ve embarked on a journey to discover healing encounters with primary land materials. I focus on chaos as a generative point of origin for new growth, and study the emergent, self-organizing patterns in contained systems. How does creative methodology integrate chaos, and other forms of entropy, with the relational experience of art engagement? How would this methodology function to rewild the artistic encounter? How can wild encounters catalyze healing dynamics?
