green veined dream is an exhibition of new sculptural works that imagines you are in the not-so-distant dystopia of the Capitalocene.
There is a salt lick and a water bowl provided. It is humid and your eyes feel funny. There are things that seem like props to assist plants in growing; calcified tree roots forming trellis for vines to climb.
Towering structures; the hollowed bodies of deceased flowers stand limp in the still air. A thin film of silt coats each surface; once a place of residence, it feels like where a dream was incubating before it got lost. A deep sense of estranged familiarity permeates the air.
It is almost as if a strong gust of wind has lodged each element in its place; or a conjunction of atmospheric conditions.
You open your eyes and find yourself lying on the edge a very steep sand dune surrounded by an infinite stretch of eroding coastline.
