Inspired by Jungian psychology, Ashley Johnston & Arran Brownlee will delve into the realms of the unconscious. Specifically, through the lens of Jung’s theory of the Anima, we want to explore the feminine aspect of the unconscious mind and create a portrait of a woman whose existence is known solely through dreams.

Pillow Fort Sessions is the strange investigation of making dreams tangible and uncovering the self. We will explore and document different modes of channelling the essence of this dream woman, using different methods to create a portrait of her. Throughout the process, we will work individually and together using our contrasting perspectives and lived experience to strengthen the themes we are exploring. Jungian psychology describes ideas of the integration of contra sexual aspects within us as a means to find balance. Pillow Fort Sessions represents a unique opportunity to explore the depths of the unconscious through multidisciplinary art forms and develop a concept that in many ways describes the collective human experience. For the month of May, Sparrow Artspace will be transformed into a creative dream space, to be used for arts and crafts, performance, film and photography. Pillow Fort Sessions will be a comfortable environment for us and the community to enjoy art in process.
