"You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream." - Edgar Allan Poe.
I have based my work on dreams, fleeting moments that give us a glimpse into our subconscious. Dreams contain a lot of information but in a short space of time, making them seem longer. With that in mind my work is video based, a series of images changing quickly, you may only notice a couple of images but that should relate to how you remember your dreams. I link this with some child-like animations, they have a surreal to them and are complex in their simplicity; the clumsiness reflects the ephemeral recollection of our dreams. The surrounding space has quotes from my own dreams, scattered around in a way reminiscent of how memories may be in your own mind.
