DREAM [of] LAND is an interdisciplinary project which combines narratives of identity, belonging, familiarity and home through the complex overlap of art-making and crafts. It brings together a body of work which explores the tangible manipulation of materials through traditional acts of weaving, moulding and sculpting, not only of conventional materials but also of narratives, memories and legacies.

The project is an invitation to reflect upon the past, present and future, whilst engaging audiences to explore subjective narratives and appropriate them to build unique and personal experiences. The direct references to traditional modes of production, such as yarn weaving, wood sculpting and clay making, elevate this intangible knowledge, borne of specific indigenous communities, to a level of universal understanding. In (this) dreamland, the imaginary and ideal are interwoven and juxtaposed boundaries and binaries are blurred; the knowledge bearers and mothers of inventions of our past become inspiration for our future.
