AND I THOUGHT I WAS DREAMING EXHIBITION - 2016

​

AND I THOUGHT I WAS DREAMING  is a photographic series that creatively plays on the dream and how it can exist both as a future ambition and as a world of subconscious reality.

 

The people photographed each hold a unique quality, aspiration or narrative which intrigued me as a visual storyteller.

 

To this means I sought the story of each person and how this could be suggested laterally through imagery. The surrealism I employed in each photograph lends to this duality of a dream, one that compels each person and one that possibly lies hidden within.

​​

Six years was spent communicating and collaborating with these twenty individuals. They are all people I have met on my own journey.

 

In some ways this volume reveals as much about myself as it does its participants.
