moonshaped dreamscapes is a collection of paintings based on a series of intense dreams from the latter part of 2017 or, rather, their elemental deconstruction and transmutation. Inspired by theories on the subconscious mind, Rorschach visuals, and continuous line drawings, these paintings come to life as manifestations of deep and deeply personal prisms of comprehension and interpretation.
Using powerful emotional states as thematic anchors the paintings come together to consider the passage of time in the form of an infinite recurring moonrise.
