About this listen

Picasso said “the purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls”. So how does art help us communicate with our inner experience and process life events?

In this episode we look at how creative work can be a tool to make sense of events or changing times, to share or interrogate emotions and ideas and to communicate experience without words.

This episode explores the famous case of Richard Dadd, the visionary Victorian painter and asylum patient, and features interviews with artist Henry Coombes on his work as a therapist, and the charity Artlink on their innovative work.
