Dreams of the Future

These pieces are part of a larger series about how we perceive and remember the past and how we use our experiences and memories to influence our future.

Our memories of past events are colored by our perceptions, our desires, our fears, our hopes and the passage of time – often creating a remembrance that is not based on factual happenings, but rather the emotional sensations that the event provoked.    The reverse is often true with our dreams - we create an interpretive reality that is based on fragile, incomplete and inaccurate memories.   

The overlapping layers of color, texture and structure in these pieces mirror the thought and memory process of experiences that are added, removed, re-created and sometimes encapsulated.
