Abstract

In this watery world of somnambulist pleasure-seeking, the unconscious is liberated from its earthly moorings. Juli Haas has given the characters within her new series of dark vignettes passage to sail the oceans of fantasy, to escape the familiarity of the everyday in order to act out their deeper impulses.
Like ships encased within bottles, the boats in this series represent a compulsive tendency to allegorise our experiences from within the private cocoon of our dreams. [Gallery media, 2009].
