RECURRING DREAMS

With humble beginnings of automatism activities with students, Recurring Dreams was born. The series of illustrations, paintings and sculptures takes inspiration from childhood dreams of unreachable playgrounds in the ocean. With a nod to Dr. Seuss' imaginary landscapes, floating worlds (ukiyo-e) of Japanese woodblock prints from the Edo period and children's building blocks, the works explores the notion of overindulgent self-important adulthood experiences and angst, and the simultaneous desire for cheeky fun, youthful happenings and blissful ignorance.
