I made most of these back in 2009 for the members show at Red Delicious Press. I really didn't know where the imagery was coming from but I recently started looking up symbols that have been coming up in my work on a website called Dream Moods. The images that seemed random at the time actually were very pertinent to what I was going through in my personal life and were indicative of what was going through my own mind even though I didn't consciously identify with it at the time. I found this quote by Carl Jung that pretty much sums it up:
"As against Freud's view that the dream is essentially a wish-fulfillment, I hold that the dream is a spontaneous self-portrayal, in symbolic form, of the actual situation in the unconscious."
