Archaeology of Dreams
I have always. been fascinated by the power of dreams and the illusion of memory and that mesophotic realm where light turns to darkness and memories are forged between dreams and reality. My current series is a product of an interest in exploring the past through dream and memory and capturing glimpses of these through photos, paintings and mixed-media works that attempt to capture this part life.
I find hope in knowing that there’s no limit to creativity and the possibilities to fuse ideas together is boundless. This passion for creating art allows me to explore a diversity of medium that when combined result in new ways of expression. I embrace the idea of imperfection, incompleteness and impermanence and I hope that my work is a reflection of this vision.
