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.

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.
