Before the evolution of writing, man was not conscious; Rather, people had bicameral minds, made up of the two hemispheres of the brain. Kitty Johnson explains this theory posited by Julian Jaynes and describes how it relates to us today.
Kitty Johnson was a teacher from 1971 until her retirement in 201. She received a Master’s in English and a Master’s of Fine Arts in Fiction Writing at the University of Alabama. Kitty became an English Instructor at Shelton State Community College in 1980, until she had a life-changing revelation in 1985: she wanted to pursue a degree in art. She started taking art classes at Shelton while she taught English full-time. In 1994, she transferred to the University of Alabama to work on an equivalency of a B.F.A. in visual arts, and in 1999, she began graduate school at Alabama in photography. After 20 years of taking one course a semester, she received her Master’s in Art in photography in 2005. She and her husband Glen (now a retired librarian) moved to Greensboro in 2002 and are restoring an antebellum home on Main Street.
