“…expressions should be cared for with a curatorial approach in both form and spirit. Perhaps, it raises the idea that an art therapist is akin to a curator in terms of how care is taken to both oversee ways of knowing and also nurse the inquirer in terms of recovery or restoration of self. In the process of mapping, amplifying, reducing, and – in my own inquiry – repetitions, the familiar becomes foreign and the breaks in rhythm encourages a moment of illumination and transformation. By witnessing such change, one is able to experience other possible realities. Such felt senses can be both personal and public. All these are an embodiment of how one can find new ways of becoming or being through a carefully curated process in Art-based inquiries.'“
