NEW SERIES: NIGHT WINDOW
Dreams are windows in the night. The ones that stick - those that I remember - invariably teach me about myself. They inform my life.
Dreams are inherently entertaining so I've decided to make them into their own art form. I've projected my dreams onto long thin screens to convey the personal, private space dreams occupy in our lives. Dreams are an important part of storytelling tradition, but occupy little space in today's culture. They need to be told.
Here, you peer beneath my closed door and through the threshold. It is the space where sacred stories unfold.
I AM BAGHDAD - the second installment of a web series profiling Iraqi painter Ayad Alkadhi. Close-up paintings of Baghdad citizens superimposed with Arabic calligraphy convey what those citizens may be feeling about post-occupation Iraq. A haunting video treatment of a haunting series.
