In Your Dreams

             Hope Interrupted  In Your Dreams

 

international projects

Growing up overseas was a rich rewarding experience that has given me an interest in exploring the world and its people. I am keenly aware of the value of interaction between people from different parts of the world and different cultures.

Pursuing artistic and cultural exchange cultivates mutual understanding and respect for the individual and cultural group

.

Given the opportunity to explore unfamiliar cultures I am inspired to look at the world in entirely new ways and my own culture in a new light.

Artist statement

  Hope Interrupted

.

Words, especially harassing words meant to instil fear, heighten bodily discomfort and diminish the sense of self, do not slide harmlessly away but are slowly absorbed into a girls developing identity and become an essential part of how she perceives herself.

Hope is interrupted.

The words in this piece were taken from text written by 12-14 year old girls.  The text was transferred to the pillowcases at night using the heat and weight of my sleeping head.
