Go Fish!
Mandala Minnow and
Transformations of Consciousness

The 1708 Gallery, in conjunction with the City of Richmond, presented the largest temporary public art exhibition in the history of Virginia. From June through September 2001, two hundred fish festooned with art by artists from across the Commonwealth and the United States were exhibited along Canal Walk and in downtown Richmond, to celebrate the return of the rockfish to the James River, to honor our history and rich traditions as a city on the river, and to invite people from all over to come enjoy our southern hospitality.  Michael H. Brown, Licensed Professional Counselor, and six of his counseling clients participated in this art exhibition.  They spent 350 hours documenting the value and effect of Psychosynthesis counseling with mandala art painted on one of these fish.  Mandala Minnow and Transformations of Consciousness is a one-hour documentary which aired on Richmond Channel 6 TV many times during the summer of 2001. It discusses the clinical use of mental imagery and mandala art in Psychosynthesis counseling, shows and describes the meaning of 32 acrylic mandala drawings painted on the fish, interviews 3 of the artist/clients, and previews 27 of the 200 + wonderfully decorated works of art in the GO FISH! project.  A copy of this video can be purchased for $9.95.
