Artist Statement
When I think of dreams, I think of the weirdly surreal images and events that take place in my sleep every night. I also vividly remember Ingmar Bergman films, and even horror movies, that can have such strangely artistic and disorienting effects. Most of my dreams involve humans, so human figures take center stage in this little series--and since most of these images have NOT shown up in my actual dreams, I am literally imagining my dreams. I kept this work pretty simple--not too many layers, not too many techniques, beyond cut and paste. I enjoy the outcome though, and the process, which is part intuitive and part plan.
