Dream in Blue

We often have dreams we forget, that do not quite make sense, or remain a little blurred when we wake. But what happens when we remember the colour of your dream, certain aspects such as the sky, water, or particular objects? 

Colour plays a prominent role in our lives,  so it make sense there is significance of dreaming in colour, what it symbolizes and both the positive and negative effects it has on us.  

Perhaps in these times, blue gives me a sense of calmness, relaxation, reliability, confidence and peace.

About the artist

Helen was raised in country NSW and maintain a strong emotional connection to rural landscapes. She loves wandering on the family farm collecting discarded objects such as wire, mesh and hessian, which add layers and texture to her artwork. 

Her work incorporates a variety of mixed media, mostly on canvas using oils, acrylics, pastel, spray paint, charcoal, sand and collage.  The process of adding layers of paint or through collage, then rubbing, using a blow torch, scraping, scratching and mark-making, produce a feeling of grounding to her. This allows her to open up to emotions, vulnerabilities, resilience and strengths which contribute to her work’s unique characteristics.
