Dream Bodies is the debut solo exhibition by Flora Wallace, shaped by a five-year exploration of the unconscious, rooted in the documentation and analysis of dreams alongside the practice of automatism. The work emerges from an ongoing dialogue between dreaming, drawing and painting, where images are not entirely controlled but allowed to surface, shift, and evolve.

In Dream Bodies Wallace considers the body in dreams - fluid, porous, and unbound by fixed identity. In sleep the body can shift between states: water or air, masculine or feminine, thought or flavour. These transformations reflect the indeterminate nature of our dream selves, where boundaries between the human and more-than-human world dissolve.

“Phantoms become feathered angels that dwell in mountains. Precarious egg people teeter on spindle legged chairs. Moon-faced spectres emerge from the trees and Bird beings commune over a hard boiled egg.”
- Dougal Kirkland

Wallace’s installation immerses the viewer into the symbolic language of her dream world through painting, textiles, ceramics, film and sound.
