Utopian Dream III

Artist's Commentary

“The third work in the Utopian Dream series extends the exploration of dreamscapes and altered states of perception that began with Threshold. A solitary figure stands within a landscape that exists between waking and sleep, between aspiration and memory. I think of this series as a cartography of the inner world — each painting a different region of the same territory, a place accessible only when the rational mind relaxes its grip. The Continuum subtitle speaks to the sense that the dream is ongoing, never fully resolved.”
