Dream Heap


Dream Heap is an accumulation of material from my ongoing practice of remembering, recording and re-recording my dreams. The stories and fragments collected in the pile give a sense of another (dream) world  - a  part of consciousness, relating tangentially to everyday life.
The heap is like the surfacing of the dreams - the memory occurring between waking and sleep states, the recording trying to bridge the gap between the dream and the impossibility of rendering it, endlessly recalling and translating. Like the surface of water the dream heap is liminal, the process of making it slippery and elusive.
The stories and fragments collected in the pile are entangled with another (dream) world    - a  part of consciousness, relating tangentially to everyday life.

The heap is an ongoing accumulation and can be endlessly reconfigured and reimagined.  I scanned and printed images from one iteration of the heap, creating a box set to share and present this particular coming - together of dreams. .
