Title: "Dreamscape 75"
Date: Winter 2001
Creation Time: About 5 hours
Dimensions: 45cm X 20cm X 20cm (18in X 8in X 8in)
Style: Dream interpretation sculpture
Medium: Styrofoam, cardboard, markers, twisty-ties, white-out, wood primer
Subject: Evolving gorilla clones atop a city skyline being overthrown by UFO's in a dream of mine
Theme: Sci-fi REM sleep reproduction
Aesthetics: I tried to keep things somewhat abstract to re-create the feeling of chaos and uncertainty that occurs while dreaming.
Process: I wrote down an actual dream I had on paper. I crossed out ordinary words and I crossed out things that were only relevant to me so that I would be communicating more of a universal statement. I took what was written and filled in crossed-out words with bits of conversations I had with random people. Then, I gathered convenient items around me to construct a physical synopsis of what I had written.
