PLATO

Learn as much as you can about symbolism; then forget it all when you are analyzing a dream.
C.G. Jung

I never liked the idea of my paintings existing in a dream space, or having some sort of structural reality one finds in a dream, but rather, I prefer to read the imagery as memories. Maybe a dream is nothing more than a memory of last night while you slept.

Of the sea, but not in the sea. The meaning of the shell is heightened by its floating above an image from which it came. It is the lasting homage to a life lived, and at times, a life given. A marker of days past, a physical reminder of now. Like the clouds above, and the mountains above them, our reality is not limited by what we can see, or know, but rather by the immensity of what we cannot see and do not know.
