About The Artwork
The idea behind this painting came from the sense evoked by the music from the Radiohead track, "Dreamers". Dreams and waking life are strangely connected, and at points dream-life can intrude upon waking life, and vice versa. In this painting, a crowd of people face us, almost as though we are walking through a busy street. The people have their eyes closed as if sleeping or dreaming, each one containing a unique and vast internal world - where waking and sleeping merge and converse and reflect and refract each other. Their faces convey a sort of unified peace, though each one is an individual in his or her own right, with individual fears, dreams and inner world. In this way I believe the human psyche to be immense, and clearly underrated, undervalued and under-used. It is the imagination that will save us, both personally and as a species. To me, this painting is a picture of that immense untapped power in human beings. It is a picture of hope.

"Although I state that much of my work stems from the imagery thrown up by depression, I would say that it is also the imagery of unconscious connection.Indeed the two are irrevocably entwined. It is no accident that the appearance of animal symbols and the use of bodily products such as hair, urine and blood is also influenced by my former work as a veterinary surgeon. Some time spent in psychoanalysis has helped me to illuminate these connections to find a personal mythology, which I believe connects to a universal meaning of what it is to be human. The `otherness` of animals, their power, vulnerability, unselfconsciousness and instinctual drives, and their relationship with us, are potent symbols of qualities we also have - qualities which we struggle with in our attempts to remain in control of ourselves and our society. It is where these tensions meet that my work is situated." Studio: Sculpture Shed, Spike Island, 133, Cumberland Road, Bristol, BS1 6UX. Tel: (0117) 929 2266; Email: michael.hayter@blueyonder.co.uk
