Dreamer is a 15-foot outdoor installation about longing, imagination, and the small bits of magic that catch the light when we look up.
The piece starts on the ground with a repurposed steel table. On it stands a tall welded aluminum tripod, and inside the tripod is a repurposed steel mannequin: a quiet female figure in a long skirt. Lines of crystals run from her waist to the hem of her skirt. At her chest, a red orb made from a thicket of aluminum wire holds a large triangular crystal at its heart.
At the top of the tripod, a triangle and an "X" of long aluminum rods cross each other and reach out 25 feet. From them hang magical orbs of spiraled aluminum wire in red-orange, pink, chartreuse, and white, each with a crystal suspended inside. The orbs hang so they spin freely in the wind, and the crystals glint and flash in the sun. Every crystal in the piece was repurposed from an old chandelier.
The color is automotive paint, chosen because it holds up to weather and keeps its color. The video shows Dreamer at Tilly Foster Farm in Brewster, NY.
