“Sleepwaters weaves together imagery of falling into and waking from sleep. Hypnagogia, the transitional state as we fall asleep, is a fascinating and psychologically potent state, as the mind sharpens, softens and metamorphoses around the sensations of the body. At the edge of sleep, impossible notions can seem quite real, and can entwine with anxieties, blissful relaxation, erotic feelings or sadness.” – Scott Breton
