EDEN

The road to Eden [ grievechronic/revisionist] is a rabbithole into a select portion of the 1500+ collages produced by author/ artist Angel Brynner that helped give birth to the Grievechronic universe in literary form from 2002 through 2020.

Over the years, as an integral part of her writing process, the ten collections of collages have facilitated Brynner bringing the public into her literary world tangibly as she wrestled with bringing it fully to light as it came, using Active Installations patrons can step into, AOLAB Active Art Art Therapy decks to help them stay the course on the path to self love, and now, for the first time, bona fide "Active Art Books" that present an assortment of color coded imagery in book form ...and require a bit of an unconventional hands on approach to dig deeper into, if desired.

" With all the changes in education the parts of the brain that deal with creativity, imagination & comprehension are shutting down. Plus, with incessant screen time the important oxytocin-rich bonding experience of adults reading to kids & encouraging them to fearlessly explore new worlds has all but been erased. Being the hero of your own fairytales is what built out your imagination as a child in the first place. Joseph Campbell has proven to adults that the power never fades with The Power of Myth & Carl Jung spoke about the stories your subconscious tells you just beneath the surface. You can change what you see all around you by leaning in to telling yourself silly stories that make sense to your soul again. You don't need a new tech gadget...you just need to reframe & recalibrate the psy-fi physio-tech you were born with." -AB

Eden is the end of the beginning, the 10th active-art book by Angel Brynner keyed to the Revisionist series, launched in late 2022.
