WAKING DREAM
This body of work, titled "Waking Dream," depicts landscapes and images of nature at night, at twilight, in fog or mist, or a combination of these factors. The photographic references used as source imagery for these paintings include scenes from Western North Carolina, the South Carolina coast, California, and Costa Rica. "Waking Dream” in this series refers to the experience of seeing the outside world in low-lit, half-lit, or fog-obscured scenarios, evoking a dream-like quality and straddling the boundaries of familiarity and unknowns. Some images are pinned with stars or artificial light sources, often indistinguishable from one another.
