  1. Having #Aphantsia AND a very poor memory I end up using the same flower shapes in my nature abstracts/flourishes. Time to build some reference sketch pages. These are about an inch high. I started art 55 years ago drawing and realise I inherited a natural capacity that I had left behind too much.

    I observe but do not know how I draw. I literally do not know how it will look until I have finished.

  3. Okay, got a truly niche question for you, hive mind!

    How would you suggest someone who doesn't have mental images (#aphantsia #aphant) create a safe space in their mind to go to while doing #emdrtherapy #EMDR

  5. On aphantasia:

    “I dream, but not in pictures”

    “I can write entire articles, documents, or conference talks in my head while out for a run. It’s usually quicker for me to create content in this way than sit at a computer and think about it. I can come in from a run and type out 2,000 words, transferring what I’ve written in my head to the document.”

    First time I’ve heard how I experience the world described in words! Also why I take photos.
