ELUDING SLEEP

THE MIND OF AN ART STUDENT ONLINE EXHIBITION (2021) - CURATED BY GEORGIA LEGG
Born from my own experiences with nightmares, lucid dreaming, and sleep paralysis - and the distorted, sinister, and threatening occurrences that come with them - my work ventures into the depths of the subconscious mind. Inspired by my dream journal entries, I attempted to depict my sleep experiences through the experimentation of sound and film. With a combination of distorted imagery and unsettling sounds, I have created ambiences and sensations that are both personal to me, yet unnervingly familiar to others. By exploring the darkness we see as we stare up at our ceilings before falling asleep, to the mysterious imaginings we endure as we dream, I hope to bring awareness to the surreal experiences that the mind can take us - often making us want to elude sleep.
