Developing Details from Two Dimensional To Three Dimentional
'Native Americans believe that the night air is filled with dreams both good and bad. The dream catcher when hung over or near your bed swinging freely in the air, catches the dreams as they flow by. The good dreams know how to pass through the dream catcher, slipping through the outer holes and slide down the soft feathers so gently that many times the sleeper does not know that he/she is dreaming. The bad dreams not knowing the way get tangled in the dream catcher and perish with the first light of the new day.'

For these pieces I drew out the dream catcher net in fine line pen then made 10 enlarged copies on the printer, I did the same for the feathers and beads. I then cut around the lines with a Stanley knife and starting placing them on the stand, using overlapping and folding. This worked extremely well and was aesthetically pleasing for me. I started thinking about potential materials, and came up with the idea of laser cut leather strips in the shape of a net. It then plays the part of deception in my work.
So I decided that I wanted to use the part of the dream catcher to show the development of a child into an adult. My theme was protection and how all the little things around you affect you, however you never grow out of fantasizing and imagining to the deepest depth of your heart. The idea of the dream catcher emphasises the lack of protection we all have compared to what we believe we have. In my collection, I hope to incorporate the dream catchers net and feathers as well as the beads but exclude the hoop; I want to exclude the hoop in my collection because I want the dream catcher to spread and encase the body rather then be a secure object. The dream catcher elements are meant to come across overwhelming so that you feel powerless, as if the dream catcher is looking after you however, its just a conspiracy, therefore further implying the lack of power and knowledge that we have as mankind. I feel like this represents me in the sense as I am always immature, thinking I know everything when I know nothing at all. A belief that there is more out there than the eye can see, but as we are all in our own little worlds, we will never truly come to see that.
