ABSTRACT
This chapter explores issues arising from a supervision group that took place in the mid-1990s in the context of art therapy training. The group material illustrates the complexity of exploring difference in art therapy supervision groups, but also a potential there that might be particular to art therapy. The chapter explores the difference of perspective between the positions of black and white, and relates these to differences between verbal articulation and art making. Both sets of differences are understood as both arti®cially constructed and at the same time materially inhabited, a paradox that can allow for a creative outcome if the movement generated is harnessed. A paradox explored in this chapter is that it might only be through silence that one can speak, or in empty space that there is art.
