Dreamers
Dreamers, is made up of 4 cyanotyped, white voile curtains. The curtains are 76”x60”, approximately the size of the queen size bed my fiancé and I sleep on. The curtains are hung from the ceiling with about 3-4” between each curtain. All four curtains were exposed with our physical bodies as the negatives and the sun.
This series explores the intimate, yet mundane experience of sleeping together every night. Sleeping is one of the things that helps keep us sane, relaxes our bodies, and is a large amount of time that we get to spend with each other. Each curtain in this series displays one of the many ways we sleep at night. Some show the intimate moments we have where we are holding each other close, yet another shows how we sleep when we let our dogs in to sleep with us in the morning. The third type is how I sleep to deal with my back pain if it gets too bad, in this position I sleep upside down from Kajé and the change in the mattress helps to relieve some pain. Our sleeping experiences and positions are a connection between Kajé and I, and through the curtains the viewers are allowed to experience that intimacy with us.
