MESSAGE FROM MAUREEN
Dear Dreaming Community, With the support of IONE and the worldwide dream community she has established, I am soliciting descriptions and/or images of dreams that people have had during the COVID-19 period. The plan is to create a wall-sized “Dream Constellation” to be included in the solo exhibit I have scheduled at WAAM (Woodstock Artist’s Association and Museum) from April 9-May 23. As with all of my art, I am moving forward from curiosity, looking to learn from and connect with others in order to document/share what I find. My hope is that reader / viewers will discover in my piece something about our communal unconscious understanding about this time. As Jenny Holzer once wrote, “You are guileless in your dreams.” Feel free to submit dreams that you had months ago or dreams you had last night. Dream fragments or dream epics. You can place a notebook on your bedside and submit a collection of dreams or collaborate with household members to compare dreams. I am interested to hear how you feel about/interpret your dreams. Also how your dreams and/or sleep states before COVID differed from those after the onset of the pandemic. Please submit texts/images through the Big Dream Dream Sack or email. Please note: We cannot guarantee return of any submissions, or inclusion of all entries. Many thanks to all of you, fellow-dreamers. |
