| The 1998 Dream Art Exhibition in
Oahu, Hawaii (part of the fifteenth annual Conference of
the International Association for the Study of Dreams), featured the work of twenty-three
artists, of which sixteen were from the Hawaiian Islands and exhibiting
with ASD for the first time.
Jurors Betsy Davids and Richard
Russo selected a wide range of work for the show, which included ceramic
sculpture, masks, assemblage, artists books, dream quilts and digital photocollage
as well as painting, collage and works on paper.
Among the more unusual pieces were
two interactive installations, Victoria Rabinowe’s "Mandala Dream Shrine,"
which included handmade dream books, and Alshaa T. Rayne’s "Bad Dream Angel,"
a life-sized painted mannequin. Viewers were invited to write their disturbing
dreams on strips of cloth and give them to the angel, who wore them like
wings on her shoulders. |
