This piece I started probably 5 or 6 years ago, and then finally finished it for the first dream art exhibit at the Poudre River Arts Center Main Gallery, a show that I organized. It was based on a dream that I had the night before I went to see my friend in the hospital.
Dream art: Angst
This clay sculpture is about 15 or 16 inches tall and it’s my attempt to create a Henry Moore-esque piece, to express the feelings of a dream I had while my daughter was preparing to go away to college. The details of the dream were’t very clear when I woke up and I mostly remembered
Dream art: Balance
