'Nocturne' invites you to become immersed in a celestial reality in which otherworldly figures appear as extensions of the landscape; brought to life through a melodic synthesis of colour.
'Nocturne' explores the imaginary experience of the dreamscape; a night portal into the psyche accessed through the closing of eyelids and presence of the moon. The natural world's untamed freedom and wholeness is employed as a means to depict ethereal spaces that hold still the fleeting state of flux between wakefulness and sleep, the landscape acting as a mirror for the psychological terrain.
Rooted in Carl Jung's ideas surrounding dream analysis and how the decryption of the unconscious can act as a catalyst for self awareness and transition towards a state of internal harmony, the dreamscape here is presented as a place of tranquillity. 'Nocturne' prolongs the slumbered brush with deep intuition that has a habit of disintegrating in the morning light.
