I transcribe my dreams and use the text to examine the perpetual present. By eliminating all traces of my individual presence in the narrative—removing personal pronouns and references to myself, I invite the viewer into the work, experiencing their own sense of self within the narratives. Through erasure, proximity, scale and composition, the narrative will change with repeated viewings. My work reflects back to the viewer that which is already inside of them, and is awakened through the experience of the pieces. Dreams are the elusive link connecting the psyche to the self and making the unconscious conscious. They are a private vocabulary, yet as mined from the collective they belong to all of us in some way. The images and the response to them creates an interdependency and a dialogue that forms its own language. A work that doesn’t resolve itself. The improvisation of looking and the spontaneity of forming a story will evoke an encounter between the other and the self, an abstract narrative.
