Brazier’s work evokes mythic and dreamlike scenes that resonate with other cultural representations of psychodrama ranging from mysterious folklore about linimoid outsiders and monsters to shadowy scenes in horror and thriller films. As Jung proposes, the unconscious is truly unconscious - humans experience the unconscious through symbols encountered in myth, folklore, dreams, art, religion and symbolic dramas. Brazier’s work calls on us to touch our unconscious, to live that drama and to consider what may be retrieved from our own shadows. The works are intended as mirrors and Brazier seems to ask that we seek and see something of ourselves within their field of vision.
