LUCID MIRAGE
Art in relation to its subjective nature in juxtaposition with dreaming and its uncontrollable chaos comes "Lucid Mirage". Lucid, someone whose mind is clear while dreaming, may gain control of some aspects of the dream. Yet Mirage, something that appears real or possible but is not in fact so. The duality of Lucidity and Mirage is the exact thing merries the two in this install. Pulling random elements such as mirrors, "wheel of fortune" combine into a Merry-Go-Round, rolling ombre rainbows meeting clouds that look like grapes? Or grapes that look like clouds? You control the space in a fixed narrative. Lay on the Merry-Go-Round dreaming, walk among the clouds, take a photo in the mirror. The visuals change and move in space, merging the ombre into an illusory perspective. Bringing child-like things, cloud watching, circus mirror illusion, shaggy carpet, bright colors, and spinning around a merry go round into a dream like state of current reality. The room is what you make it.
