the subconscious exploration of the dream world. a realm in which the mind enters, wanders, creates, questions, studies, plays, ponders...a dream within a dream.

The Hallucinogenic Toreador

Behind the collection...

The name for this Dali-inspired collection came to mind while studying the iconic works of the surrealist artist. I could not help but find myself in a dream-like state; wondering how his mind created these masterpieces. I found myself lost in the depths of the unusual elements, double images and hidden meanings of it all. And then I started to question; how would I create a collection that could even parallel the thoughts and feelings his work evokes?

Let me tell you..it was a challenge.

I realized I could never come close to scratching the surface of the world Dali created, but could simply create my own; fitting somewhere inside the abstract lines he painted.

A False Awakening...a dream within a dream...
