During REM sleep, everyday events and logic are restructured and shaped into
narratives of a different kind of logic, presented to us as dreams. Within this realm,
time, space and narratives can be unclear, liquid and nonlinear. My art depicts
everyday events and objects, that are both recognizable and strange, seemingly
appearing in the wrong places. Together these images form illogical narratives,
inviting the viewer to tap into the kind of understanding that is used to navigate the
realm of the unconscious. I work on patiently and meticulously identifying and
stretching the boundaries between the realistic and the surrealistic, the conscious
and the unconscious, the realm of logic and the realm of dream.
