Here is a media experiment that I have been working with. It is takes inspiration from works on paper I saw by Ray Kass at his gallery talk at Reynolds earlier this year. He discussed the idea of stretching paper which was coated with a form of wet bees wax. This led me to experimenting with crinkling, ripping papers and dipping papers into mixtures of glue, water & oil stain to create various effects and could be manipulated as it hardened on the papers. They serve as blank canvases to me and it has been suggested in my Mixed-Media Studio Practices course at VCU that they take on the appearance of pillows and suggest dreams. Included below are different dream scenarios that I encounter on a more personal level. The free flowing nature of the images suggest there are things in dreams which we may recognize but do not fully grasp the complete image or reasoning involved.
