Sharon Sampson, In My Dreams, Monotype with hand colouring, 53 x 77cm, Ed 1 of 1, 2025, Framed
IN MY DREAMS
(from Sampson’s Rewilding the Feminine series)
“In my Dreams” depicts baby turtles scrambling across the cool moonlit sea sand
towards the sea. A young girl appears to hold one in her arms. Is she dreaming,
having a vision or is she really there realizing this little creature could only be hers . .
. in her dreams!
Sampson has chosen the painterly printmaking technique, Monotype for its intrinsic
sense of motion and unpredictability. “I aim to create a sea of vibrant inks which flow
into one another, settle before printing and ultimately create exciting, unexpected
results”. Sampson’s Monotype compositions capture the innate complexities of
womanhood and the environment, translating them into the visual realm.
