DREAM LOGIC ~ A sense of expanded reality. Reassurance that on the scale of known and unknown, the balance is always tipping towards the unknown. For part of me, this evokes terror, for another part, freedom.
In the spring of 2025 I lost a dear friend to suicide. Soon after, on my own birthday, I began making a Polaroid every day. Creativity as survival skill. Go for a walk, pay attention, look for something, anything beautiful. I chose my inherited Polaroid Land Camera for its immediacy. For the feel of returning home with tangible treasure in my pocket. What I came to notice is its tendency towards dream logic. Its ability to transform and obscure in a way that more resembles how it felt, than how it looked.
I’ve wasted too much time in the realm of “know it all” logic. It offers an alluring, but false sense of security.
I am trying to be more receptive to dream logic. Photography helps.
