Abstract

Psychotherapists are challenged to find ways to facilitate and support people dealing with change and uncertainty in an increasingly stressful world. Art and narrative are widely recognized by cultures worldwide as ways of knowing about ourselves as human beings. This study examines how the creative process of art making may reflect the personal narrative of transformation in the liminal experience. Subjective reports of art process were obtained through semi-structured interviews of eight artists who have employed art making as an important way to express their own process of transformation through liminal experience. Through arts-based inquiry intertextualized with narrative inquiry, and using the methods of grounded theory to gather and analyze data, the notion of platforming was generated as a schemata of the creation of a means of support to carry one over the threshold of change.
