Dreams, They Haunt Me brings together images and snapshots from the artist’s mind and displays them within a single scene. The overlapping images fight for prominence in the artist’s mind, fighting to be at the forefront. Through visual metaphors and descriptors, the work reflects the artist’s experience with her mental health condition, CPTSD. Themes of loss, entrapment, free-falling and fear of loss of control are seen throughout.

Dreams, They Haunt Me was bought to life for the Royal Scottish Academy’s New Contemporaries 2022 award. The work was created with the assistance of a VACMA award presented by Creative Scotland and The City of Edinburgh Council. The installation also won the RSA Art Prize, the Maclaine Watters Medal and the Edinburgh Printmakers Graduate Residency Award.
