Description of the installation: So on the magic day of 4/20 I held a Good Vibes Party at my house. Once inside the Dream Oven, I led people into an installation inside the middle room which I kept referring to as “My Mind”. This was perhaps the first actual dream exhibition that I have ever held as it featured a tv installation based on a dream I had while in Berlin. Previously the so-called dream exhibitions I have hosted have been more about creating a dream space that engages the audience member into having their own dream. Here was something different! Something new! The audience was entering my own dream! 


Over the previous year, I had been working towards transparency and openness and it was very exciting to bridge this pursuit with my art acting as tour guide and telling viewers “This is my mind, this is what it looks like in there, welcome! Let me tell you about a dream I had!”

“A psychedelic tapestry serves as backdrop. Dream catchers float in the air. Audience members line the artwork-covered walls. In the next room, more art, more audience: A TV casts a sea of haze atop a mock fireplace, while half the room swims in a light installation. Poet and musician Marshall James Kavanaugh gives a dream-story preamble before donning a unicorn mask and blasting away on trumpet.“
Philadelphia Inquirer, Brion Shreffler; “Art, fashion, and rock join forces in local shows”
