Week 14: " A Mid Summer Night's  Dream"

*Actual size of piece is 8.75" (w) x 46" (l) 

After re-reading A Mid Summer Night's Dream by Shakespeare, I decided to let myself get lost in a dream. I wanted to see where my mind would take me.  While my mind wandered like Lysander and Demetrius going to battle deep in the woods , I too got lost in the mist of what my mind saw. I began to see what Puck saw, a world of magic. A world of mystery. If all the world is a stage, then I feel that my mind is the playground-especially dreams.  

I have always believed that dreams can be a canvas to express our deepest and most passionate emotions, and our darkest desires at play.

Dreams, like the music from an instrument, or the words of a poet, can be unlimited when they become a creative force.  In my dreams  the visions can be so intense that I can feel my senses exploding all at once. The thing I love about those moments is that everything is limitless. When I dream anything, everything is possible, even passion with my most unattainable physical attractions. Where but in that playground can we have the boy of our "dreams" and live happily ever after, or win the battle of our own mortality. When in our daily lives can we let our inhibitions go and follow through with our personal desires, without causing catastrophic consequences? The only place is during a night's dream.
