Nightmares

 

My next box, which I am in the process of creating, is about my childhood bedroom. When I was sketching for this box I realized that my most prominent memory of my bedroom is being afraid to sleep and having nightmares. I am incorporating some of the things that I was most afraid of into my box, but I will write more about that in my “Box #4 Process” post. For now I just wanted to reflect on the fears of childhood. I wonder if other people had more peaceful slumber as kids or if others were also riddled by frightening images of sharks, Bloody Mary, and old lady ghosts. I will admit that I was thirteen years old before I started sleeping alone (my sister was probably ready to get me out of her bed) because I was so terrified. As I got older, it got easier not to think about anything scary and I wonder if that can be chalked up to maturing or maybe as we age we just don’t have as vivid of imaginations. Probably a little of both. Being afraid, and getting over it, was a major part of growing up for me and I think that’s true for a lot of people. I wouldn’t say that I am nostalgic for those times, but those memories certainly hold a lot of power. Honestly, even though I’m an adult now, these photos still really creep me out. Yikes!

  1. This post really strikes a chord with me! I have always been terrified to sleep alone (even to this day I sleep with the hall light on and my door open), and when I was a kid it went to some extremes. I would throw the hugest fits and stay up all night sometimes avoiding sleeping in my room. It is true that as you get older it is easier to rationalize these fears, but I still get creeped out all the time. I think this is a really good idea to focus on for the bedroom, they really are powerful memories! I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

  2. Reading this post before seeing your last box helped me understand the amount of time and energy you are putting into these works. When I saw the box I felt like I immediately understood what it all represented. Your ability to represent feelings as well as tell a story with only objects is astounding.

This piece was carefully created and and it showed up in your presentation of the work.

  3. It’s amazing how you can make a tale with only the things in the room and yet convey what the characters are experiencing. Both the crayon bed frame, which reminded me of my youth, and the letter that said “Bloody Mary” in reverse and was mirrored in the mirror were the two things that struck out to me the most. You clearly put a lot of thought into the creation of this item, and it shows in the way you presented the work.
