Isaura Sanchez Psychographies

Annotation

Pyschographies is a novelized memoir of the artist Isaura Snchez. We first encounter Snchez as a teenager as she is working on a series of drawings via automatic writing, letting the unconscious guide the free movements of her hand. A few years later, Snchez realizes that these drawings, which she previously thought lacked any special significance, might contain precognitive artifacts that represent future events before they occur. We follow Snchez as she enrolls at the university to study Art History where she faces the challenge of defining her own manner of artistic expression. Is this art or parapsychology? Over the course of three decades, Snchez struggles to find out the true nature of the cascade of predictions that keep revealing themselves through her drawings. In the end, the meanings revealed by these figures and symbols have a profound impact on her interpersonal relationships and her career as an artist, forever changing her way of thinking and her beliefs.
