In episode four of This is Not Art Therapy, we explore the theme of meaning-making through art, memory, and connection. John shares new comics and characters, opening up about the influential experiences—and struggles—that have shaped him. We talk about how challenge and vulnerability can become powerful threads in building personal meaning.Anita, John’s girlfriend, made some art as well, and reflections were made on the deep impact of her grandmother’s presence in her life. Together, we explore how healthy relationships give life richness and depth.Linnea revisits a past art piece centred on rest, and reflects on how meaning can emerge in stillness—often outside the metrics of productivity or achievement.Throughout the episode, we circle back to a shared truth: relationships and community are at the heart of what gives life meaning. Whether through art, connection, or quiet reflection, this conversation reminds us that meaning is something we build—and share—together.
