Fever Dream: Sojourner Sculpture

This series (aptly coined by one of my teenaged children) was inspired by dreams that I remember having had when ill. Struggling to recall the details, I'm left with bits-- shreds of memory, scraps and sensations, frustrated to never quite grasp the clear picture I'd had in my head. Each sculpture represents some of the things that I "sort of" remember from these dreams. They embody the emotions, characters and messages that I am left with after the surreal, heady, inexplicable sequence of a Fever Dream. Using found materials and a variety of mixed media techniques including encaustic, oil paint and ceramic sculpture, I've attempted to convey the subliminal messages conjured from my subconscious in the artwork. Often just out of reach, these blurry memories tend to teach me more about my internal struggles and response to external happenings than I could ever decipher consciously. Using symbolic materials (often widely-accepted iconography dense with religious and spiritual undertones), I use icons to push back against their accepted visual metaphor and challenge their "inherent" meaning. Deliberately confusing and contradictory, contrasting textures and allusions, this series aims to challenge your perception of the way things look at first glance. Please explore their layers and decide for yourself what meaning Fever Dream holds.
