Dreams and Nightmares

Deborah Parkin

Dreams and Nightmares

Took this today at a place called Belsay Hall – it was part of an amazing exhibition. This is a tree coming out of a bed. The whole exhibition was wierd and wonderful – and really eerie – the sounds echoing out, chilling!! It was a nightmare to photograph as the light was appalling and people around (how dare they!!!!). This room was beautiful but plain wierd – hence the title dreams and nightmares.

    Great concept Deborah. I love this image because it is so creative and the way you’ve presented it is exactly right for the title. It provokes the imagination to bring the scene to life and to watch it move and evolve. I can see how it can be dreamlike and nightmarish at the same time. Top work!

    The contrast and the combining I like a lot, above all I like the idea that you have had some trunk of the tree that goes out of the bed!!
