The client writes:
“This project started like so many others: taking a shower and thinking about what my psychotherapist had said. She had proposed that I think of myself not as a homogeneous unit, but as a collection of parts, each with their own experiences, strengths, weaknesses, obsessions. I started thinking of the parts as figures, a group of people both strange and close.
I asked Julian to draw them, so that I could carry them around with me in card-size. He instantly understood the project, was very sensible to the emotional, intimate and personal dimension of it, and worked through cultural references and a lot of discussion to get each figure right. He reworked the cards as much as was needed, responding to my thoughts and feedback without ever making me feel like a pain or weight for asking changes. Throughout, I felt that this project was as mine as it should be but also marked by his sensibility, vision and touch, which I loved.”
