A full moon in winter. A questioning of truth behind the folklore surrounding a full moons presence on personal histories, thoughts and behaviours. In Our Sleep takes effected dreams and subconscious to reflect upon the pasts place in our present and its relation to location. Notions of romanticism are accentuated when present within the English landscape, ruminating upon our innate binding to nature and the natural world.
First shown as part of the Folded Eight Times exhibition at APT Gallery, March 2023
