Dream Meditations 2013-2020
This group of images spanning 7 years shows a snapshot of work
that I have produced in the studio, location, and underwater. It is not a
complete portfolio of work during this period and it does not include images
created during 4 sojourns to Zoefest. There is a consistency of vision during
this time. I revisited concepts and techniques that I have been exploring for
decades. Reinterpreting themes that I have worked on previously allowed me to
add recent life experiences to the conversation. I still am interested in exploring my dreams
and the subconscious, and figuring out how to interpret them. Exploring our
shared spiritual journey, and how to make sense in art making has always been an
energizing experience. I have been drawn to using images of the human body in
art since my childhood. Howard Pyle’s last painting, The Mermaid, is the first painting I can remember seeing. I learned
early in my life to be active in my dreams, to control the narrative of the
dreams I experienced. The human bodies I depict in my waking life are often a
continuation of the stories I experienced in dreams.
