Exploring the archetypes has helped me to understand why I approach my art differently than others. Identifying the Engineer as one of my eight has helped me understand my need to try to construct my work so that it is completed with minimal changes – no layer upon layer upon layer for me! I am not so rigid that I am disappointed when things do not seem to go the way I anticipate – that is when the Gambler takes over. Working with botanicals allows my Engineer and Gambler to work well together to form really interesting prints. The control required by the Engineer enables me to determine the initial composition and choice of materials. The Gambler takes over at other times to combine different processes to see what might happen.
