Dreamscapes

Collages by Tyler Varsell

 Tyler Varsell evokes a sense of mystery and escapism with her paper collages.
Like condensation, her images amalgamate different elements of dream-thought into a single visual manifestation. Freud’s dream interpretation conceived of dreamscapes as being woven together by a series of memories, images, and impressions, that come together and fuse into a symbolic composite.
What each symbol represents through association is hidden in the subconscious depths of the dreamer.“And it is only after seeing man as his unconscious, revealed by his dreams, presents him to us that we shall understand him fully. We are what we are because we have been what we have been.”
― Sigmund Freud, The Interpretation of Dreams
