Dream in RGY

This piece imagines a television that no longer broadcasts images, but dreams.

Instead of emitting light, the screen absorbs it.
Instead of noise, it holds silence.
What would normally function as a device for endless stimulation becomes a quiet surface where thought slows and drifts.

Soft folds register suspended moments—
signals paused mid-transmission, memories half-formed, images dissolving before becoming clear.
Muted tones and restrained gold accents suggest traces of something once vivid, now internalized.

The work proposes a reversal:
the screen no longer shows us the world,
but reflects the inner landscape of the viewer.

A screen not for watching, but for dreaming.

Year 2025

Size 150 × 110 cm (59 × 43 in)

Media and Technique Calico and linen fabric, gesso, acrylic paint and mediums, subtle gold pigment, hand-finished wooden edging. Calico and linen were layered with gesso and shaped while wet to create soft folds and an uneven, light-absorbing surface. Motifs were finished separately with restrained gold washes and matte mediums, then assembled onto the panel. The edges were framed with hand-finished wooden strips, oiled for warmth while keeping a muted finish.
