(id)eograms For Transcribing Dreams #3 (2019) 雕塑 由 Kristopher Lionel

Christopher Brown. '(id)eograms For Transcribing Dreams #3'. 2019. Oil and Glue on Paper Veneered to Panel, Mahogany, Plywood, Epoxy Resin. 10.75 x 16.25 x 1.75 Inches.

The works in the series '(id)eograms For Transcribing Dreams' are influenced by both the Surrealist concept of automatism and the id (that part of the mind in which innate instinctive impulses and primary processes are manifest). Each piece features "automatic drawings" created with poured glue that, when dry, form raised, embossed, shapes. The pouring of glue limits my control over the process and puts distance between direct, conscious intention, and the outcome. The openness of this approach allows the subconscious to reveal itself. The drawings become evocative symbols, pictographs, letters of a repressed alphabet, or ideograms that, when arranged together, to suggest the iconography of dreams.

*Please Note:

'(id)eograms For Transcribing Dreams #3' features plywood borders that served to create reservoirs into which catalyzed epoxy resin, clear finish was poured; these individual panels were then permanently set into borders of mahogany. In this process, the resin captured the 'frame' making it a permanently integrated/joined, part of the work that can not be removed. The work arrives ready to hang.
