Little Monsters

2020

I created two ceramic sculpture heads. Each one is six inches tall with multiple layers of glaze. As I processed the dream I shared for the Red Book, I discovered a large amount of unconscious fear around motherhood stemming from childhood trauma. During my dream, I find two eggs hatching in my children’s bedroom, but I am not scared, I choose to detach and pretend that it didn’t happen. The choice represents avoidant behavior, which I am interested in investigating further, both in my daytime life and in my active dream state.
