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.

'The great face escape'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. He stood there as a large face began to appear out of his abdomen; tearing through his flesh and innards. As his body fell away only the new large face, arms and legs remained. | 'All Ears'50.00 usd The need to make, the need to keep working, the need to want more. | 'Armor'50.00 usd This silver metal sweater was the most pleasing, socially soothing and fashion forward garment I have ever worn (in my dreams). |
'While I was sleeping'50.00 usd In my dream I didn't know that I was pregnant. All of a sudden I gave birth and had a baby to take care of. I forgot about the baby and it died.
