BLUE MIND
"Blue Mind is a fascinating study of the emotional, behavioral, psychological and physical connections that keep humans so enchanted with water... Nichols draws on science and art, hard data and anecdote, and plenty of experience, to explain our blue mind in detail."
- Washington Post Book Review
"Blue Mind: Creative Work, Critical Play" was the 2017 Interdisciplinary Senior Capstone at Guilford College, bringing together students from diverse fields such as religious studies, creative writing, photography, and environmental studies. Each participant contributed their unique perspective to discussions on creativity, nature, and play.
As a junior, I documented the class as they explored various environments and engaged with thought-provoking readings. This included field trips to the Haw River, Carolina Beach, Lake Brandt, and the Guilford College Woods.
