Dreams are nothing more than wishes is one of a
series of pieces about the songs that have marked moments in my life. Woven
with pattern and rhythm following the sound wave peaks and troughs of the
music.
The piece incorporates yarn space dyed with the dots and dashes of morse code
spelling out the lyrics of the song. However in the act of weaving the yarn
back and forth the order is scrambled and the words cannot be read in a
coherent way rather a more ephemeral sense of meaning is gleaned. Colour dances
across the cloth creating a mood that transcends the words of these songs.
