'Cinderella II - The Dreamer' is a hybrid of drawing with interaction and performance, installation, video and sound. It represents a further investigation of issues addressed in the installations: Living Edge (2006) and Skin of The Wall (2006). The work explores perceptions of the home and domestic space as a site of dreaming and habitation, where the imaginary and the real co-exist and how one informs the other. During course of the creation process, I was inviting friends and colleagues to collaborate in the project by sharing their desires with me. The goal was to 'materialize' these dreams by converting them into installation objects.
