Artist's Comments

Insomnia Series
I - The Ear

I was to emulate an artist in this series so I chose James Casebere.

I treated the light in these images as information and the environments as dream-like physical places inside the human body.

When I experience insomnia I am comfortable and lost between dream and reality...but I still cannot attain sleep. That's what these images are representative of: my inability to sleep due to the flow of information seeping into my body during my transition phase...between waking and dreaming.

Middle insomnia - waking during the middle of the night, difficulty maintaining sleep.




This first image is a nod to Casebere's Tunnel With Bright Hole.


The models created were much less than 1 inch in any direction except back (some were tunnels); the beds were considerably smaller.

O.O! I totally understand how you feel about insomnia being somewhat comfy but you still feel lost. I understand. I don't feel well rested most of the time, but I feel comforted by the fact that I'm at that bordeline..that pinch of limbo between dreams and reality.

To be honest, that is my favorite part about sleep. That unsure area of limbo. I think maybe that's why I wake up so often throughout the night, hehe...because I love that stage so much! I don't wake up on purpose though...it just happens because of all the information around me...even if it's extremely faint.

I wake up at least every 30-60 minutes. I find it exciting because it allows for so many dreams, though it can become tiring when I'm in a relationship with someone and we're trying to share a bed.

>.< God, do I ever know that feeling. I want to wake up when my body tells me to between dreams - I don't want to be nudged just minutes or seconds before my body wants to get up. Sometimes, I swear, he drives me crazy. He fidgets and wakes up more than I do and it's rather conflicting with my habits!!

It's a comfy stage - It makes my dreams FEEL like reality, they're not dreams or thoughts, they're real and it's sometimes comforting.
