about
In the artist's own words;
"This is one of two installations produced for an exhibition of site-specific artworks in glass and ceramics titled Einfall created in 2009. These pieces were inspired by Freud's writings and my interest in collections and archive. The pieces were subsequently exhibited at a number of venues and the other artwork from the pair 'Sigmund Freud's Dream Archive: Case's 396 - 405' (not shown) was purchased by the Toyoma Museum of Glass in Japan"
