DreamWorld

DreamWorld is an ongoing photography project which explores the people and creatures who inhabit the land we visit during sleep.  This photojournalism of fantasy results in striking, soulful, beautiful images which arrest the viewer's attention. DreamWorld began one long, sleepless night while I tossed and turned with the frequent insomnia I struggle with.  As I lay there not sleeping, I had a vision of a magical person in charge of sleep and dreams and as I continued to not sleep, more characters came to me.  It quickly became an all-consuming passion to bring this world to life. I hand-make all the elaborate costumes and props seen in the DreamWorld series.  I rarely know how I'm going to construct something before I begin it, but I teach myself as I go along.  Creativity, trust in myself and resourcefulness are needed.  The results, however, are anything but cheap. DreamWorld will continue to grow and expand dramatically.  But most importantly, DreamWorld has, and continues to, capture the attention of those who view it, delight, engage and astonish them.  That is the series' real magic.
