A Dreams Subconscious refers to works typically made from fabric molds directly resembling pillows or 2-D silhouettes of clouds. Once filled, the forms can be greatly distorted due to the expandability of the fabric and the weight of the material being cast. Pillows and clouds culturally represent the subconscious and dreams. Pillows are what are nearest your head and thoughts as you sleep, becoming a surrogate manifestation of our unconsciousness, possibly a truer consciousness. Clouds have always been a conduit for our daydreaming and desire for that fleeting carefree moment we would like to solidify and access at will. However in both cases, our own dysfunction and cultural regulations distort our “happiness”, because, as a species, we have forgotten how to listen both individually and collectively. Our dreams and goals have become heavier than gravity due to our own misdirected intentions that hold us down.
