Project: Conversations in My Sleep

Conversations in My Sleep, 2010
Wooden bowls, paint, graphite, wheels (individual wooden bowls approximately 24–30”d x 8”h)

Hutt has always chronicled her dreams as her preferred way of translating the confusion of the day to day. Her Conversations In My Sleep installation evokes experiences common to many: the dreams that stay with you over time and recur, or those days when the dream from the night before pops into your head — dreams you can’t shake that seem to hang around for days, making themselves available when you least expect it. In this work Sarah gives her dreams a home as wheeled bowls of dreams that can roll along with you throughout your day.

“A mother-daughter relationship. A sense of identity. A vivid memory. Brief fragments of dreams can offer powerful clues about who we are, where we are, and what brought us here.”
