“As I Lay Me Down to Sleep” is a series of photos, sculptures and paintings from 2019  that are a response to hypnogogic visualizations that come to me just as I am falling asleep. I say “response” because while the images that arise are inspirational, fidelity to the subconscious is impossible in light of day as one must also rely on one's methodology as an artist. Not surprisingly, the result manifests as evidence of a neurosis.
