26 Dreams (text on coloured A4 paper) from the 12 month period, July 1998 - June 1999. Recorded immediately on waking each morning with a title and date, more often than not translated into script form. In the film-making process, a script may start in white then move to blue then pink then green then yellow and so on. The colour itself is not significant, only serving the purpose of making it immediately obvious during the shoot to see whether or not everyone has the latest version. Jack Nicholson makes the remark in Vivian Kubrick's documentary 'Making The Shining' (made on the set of her father's film), "I quit using my script. I just take the ones they type up each day."
Above the Dreams were displayed nine C-Type Photographs of locations readily found within the same period. As a reversal of the movie location scouting process, they were intended as residual memory projections of nine film characters on the opposite wall.
Opposite wall:
Nine Drawings (gouache, ink and pencil 1999). Each a specific memory of a film character.
