TINY NIGHTMARES, 2021

sculpey, wood, paper, acrylic paint, human/animal/fake hair, cotton/ fabric and pins

Tiny Nightmares is a creepy and whimsical exploration of vivid night dreams and personal terrors. 

 

I have dreams so vivid that I remember every detail of the dream including how it felt, sounded and smelt.  Sometimes, when I wake, I am confused as to where/when I am. Some of my dreams have been the MOST fun-- (I have woken myself regularly laughing because I wrote the world’s funniest joke and I was telling everyone).  And some of my dreams are so intensely terrifying-- (once a large pack of feral cats attacked and shredded me open but in the end, I was tasked with murdering them by hand. One. By. One). 

In an attempt to meet and make peace with my disturbing images, I created an exhibition of artifacts and characters from the Side Show of my dreams: 

Tiny Nightmares.

55.00 usd In my dream I was meeting the landlord of a house I was applying to live in. When I arrived the property was wild with dogs and trash.

50.00 usd In my dream I was being chased by a man through a building. I escaped out the back of the building but in the alley way I came face to face with the man.

I refused to accept that I had neglected the baby and killed it so I kept nursing it at my breast, believing I could bring it back to life if I tried hard enough.

'It's whats inside that counts'

'It's whats inside that counts'

50.00 usd Just your standard 'being held hostage in a shared-housed' type of dream. I discovered a large gold nugget and hid it in a pile of dirt in a shopping bag. I tried to convince my captives to let me go about my business and that there was only dirt in the bag.
