Amanda Boulos, Ella Dawn McGeough, and Erica Stocking unfold an installation and co-creational event series that asks: “What forms (in their many variations) do beds allow us to imagine? What grows from their fertile soil? What weird wanderings does a drowsy mind follow? What dreams come when we lie on grounds that hold our memories? What conventions unravel when we lie prone, released from the vertical 'I'—the upright standing I, the individual I, the restless I, the I who scans the horizon in search of somewhere else? When we are in a hammock, a burrow, a mat in the corner, some warm patch of grass, or soft sand, we cannot be blown down by the storms of history because we are already hugging the earth, settled by gravity's pull, dreaming the world into existence. What then? What thoughts? What emotions? What sensations and perceptions? What narrative possibilities? What strange affinities nestle into and around us?”
