Dreams is a series of pen and ink studies of various beings and my conjured depictions of their subconscious and unconscious thoughts. It is an open exploration of the subconscious and unconscious minds of others.

Note
The Dreams series primarily stems from my interest in the subconscious mind during sleep and the way that it often wanders in seemingly random tangents. I say seemingly because I suspect that if we had a greater understanding of the brain and the way that it operates, the links between the conscious and subconscious would potentially seem far less obscure. However, at present we can only speculate as to the origins of our dreams and indeed what our fellow earthlings dream about. Therefore, as we are not quite at that point in our technological development that we can literally read or see the precise thoughts or dreams of each other or other animals, this project was largely about my own thoughts and the imagery that these beings conjure and connote for me personally.
 
What really fascinated me about dreams (and the idea of the ‘dreamscape’) is my experience with the apparent randomness of them, and (in recollection) their often strong detachment from linear narrative. Moreover I often find that - for me - the detachedness of the subconscious from rational thought is sometimes so far removed that it boggles the mind as to how it might have reached such bizarre and farcical notions.
