From the artist –
“I came to the United States with my family from Moscow in 1998; my folks militantly adhered to the concept of the American dream, which I never saw come to fruition for us. After years of inability to reconcile my material life with the promises of capital, I began to experience derealization. Clouds became my personal dream icons. A Dream We Dream Together is Reality is an ongoing project addressing the allure of dreaming, who gets to do it, and how it affects us. Sculpted clouds are scattered across the floor, furniture, and walls; visitors are encouraged to cradle the forms in the hopes of embodying them. Manmade clouds from clay and foam are perversions of the floating, airy forms we encounter in nature. What can we glean from these effigies, or even golems? What happens when we try to make the dream real?”
