by Jane Hutton. This journal discusses the idea/ activity that when children have been exposed to serious problems and situations, that in order to overcome that fear that they use their imagination. A child who may have experienced a family murder or been exposed to household violence, are encouraged to use their imagination and transform their fears. They can make up playful settings where the can overcome the situation and be the victor. They can now be someone who watches from the sidelines ad for it not to include them. By replaying and/or adapting what happened, they can take control.
This is interesting in relation to my work. I am seemingly making something playful, in the moments that i am making. In effect, for myself, i am taking the fear out of my work and only letting others become scared by it. I am choosing situations/ places that i may find fearful and changing them into something that i enjoy.
