The Felician View IV

Participants of the art program at the St Felix Centre, Toronto were asked a series of questions. Each question has a specific interpretation attributed to it. The answers to the questions are meant to reflect the hearts and minds of the artists, and to provide some insight into their psyches.

Questions & Interpretations
 

What is your favorite animal and why? - Qualities you like in other people

“Cat. I love cats. They're smart, they're funny, and they do crazy things. They're soft and they relax me. They make me fall asleep when they purr. They're so awesome!”

What is your least favorite animal and why? - Qualities you dislike in other people     

“I think it's the wolf, and I think it's because they're overused. Everybody I know wants to be a wolf... think of those stupid comforters with a picture of a wolf on it. ”

What is your favorite colour and why? - How you wish to be perceived

“Blue because it's a healing colour. It makes me feel like I'm on top of the world. I like the way blue reminds me of other things like words. Sometimes when I'm writing poetry I like to look for inspiration.”

What is you favorite kind of water and why?- How you perceive love/your ideal love

“I like the ocean. I find it challenging and one day I would like to cross it in a kayak.”
