Artists have long turned to dreams as a source of inspiration, a retreat from reason, and a space for exploring imagination, curiousness, and desire. A “dream state” is defined as: “the state of diminished consciousness in which the surroundings are perceived as if in a dream.” Our artists explore the realm of their dreams through diverse mediums and meanings, encouraging the viewer to question what they perceive as reality or fantasy.  

This exhibition succeeds in translating a ‘dream state’ through evocation, whether this is literal or abstract is for the interpretation of each individual artist, and their own perception of a dream. Dreams of the future, fantasy scenes, surrealist creatures, clouds of colour and sensory textures all have their place, as the veil is lifted to invite you into this realm.
