Dream Sculpture A1

A highly coterminous creation of a neon sculpture from an ongoing series originally envisioned during recurring REM dreams of artist Kyle Yip. He achieved a significant breakthrough in 2017, when he discovered how to consolidate his studies of psychology with his art practice within different states of conscious awareness — from different stages of restful awareness and sleeping to dreaming. He possesses the unique ability to perceive then examine artworks which emerge during his dreams in vivid detail. Images that once appeared immaterial are meticulously reverse-engineered into tactile, obdurate objects. His research in therapy, rigorous background in classical animation, and avant-garde art practices began to coalesce into new cross-identifactory modes of making art. This work explores the cosmological and mythological influences within early 1930's classically animated Disney films. The series, "Close your eyes, make a wish and let your dreams come true." is quoted from the artist's sister's twin sized bed sheet from Disney's Cinderella franchise. The North Star is a ternary star system composed of a primary star offset by two smaller circulating twin stars. The primary star is symbolic of Cinderella's guiding light during a phase of self-doubt and oppression, characterized by the solar eclipse. The manifested dream sculptures represent the "American Dream" itself, and contain their latent meaning. Kyle Yip recognizes his work as both the diagnosis of a cultural condition, but also an opportunity for viewers to meditate on their dreams and celebrate childhood nostalgia.
