Watercolors from Planet of Dreams

June 2021

WHAT THE SOUL WANTS, two watercolor groups from Planet of Dreams 2021; a multimedia project exploring interconnections of ecology, culture, soul and dream… in progress.

‘I Dreamed I Had a Planet of Waves: profound, abyss, fathom.’ Three watercolors from markings on lost buoy.

‘Then I had a dream, everyone laid down their arms, and they went surfing.’ Haiku in three watercolors.

Our relationship to water is simple and brutal, we rely on it’s proximity for survival. We also fear it and romanticize it. What happens when it is privatized? Ownership is assumed? Our dreams of sailing away, of Ultima Thule, are over.
