Etymology of a Dream: Art, Writing, & Beyond (Budget Edition)

Sublimation Pressworks presents Etymology of a Dream: Art, Writing, & Beyond, a coffee-table book that explores the world of dreams through art and writing. Artists and writers pull from the world of dreams in many ways. Some use words to express the dream state. Others use images to define their nightmares. More than images during sleep, dreams can also be wishes, visions, or detailed paracosms. Within these pages, dreams manifest in different forms. Illustrations for stories never written. Drawings and paintings examining the nightmares of body horror. Collage deconstructing the dream state's spirituality. Imaginary worlds illuminated in mixed media. Surrealist sculptures that address mortality. Some artworks use materials like bed sheets or comment on sleep. Other entries journal our innermost fears and wishes. Prose divulges tales of forgotten landscapes. Poetry reveals love lost. Entries combining art and writing form dynamic visions where the image strengthens the word and vice versa.
