This is from a series that was created while my father was very ill and I was in the process of making plans to go to visit him in the hospital. I started by tearing up parts of a previous work that was about chronic pain and the passage of time. Those are the large red shapes and the rectangles that have months written in them. I used to have a dream journal by my bed and I would write Dream No. 1 before going to sleep, as an indication that I was ready to remember the first dream of the night.
