One after another, night after night. \u003cbr\u003eI find that I get ideas for my work early, just after a dream before I’m truly conscious before I’ve opened my eyes. Lately, I’ve been influenced by The Hearing Trumpet, a surrealist novel that I’ve recently read by Leonore Carrington. The book seems to weave between the conscious and unconscious world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI often incorporate Botanical Illustrations in my imagery. During the 19th century botany was one of the few pastimes women were allowed to pursue outside of the home. I use botany as a metaphor for resilience. In this image I use the nepenthe plant. This carnivorous plant mentioned in the Odyssey was believed to be a magic potion capable of banishing grief or trouble from the mind.\" - Leslie Sheryll\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Untitled Space","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42748477603922,"sku":null,"price":1500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/6235\/9378\/files\/Leslie-Sheryll_Dreamer_Nepenthe-TheUntitledSpaceDREAMExhibit.jpg?v=1790117844","url":"https:\/\/untitled-space.art\/products\/leslie-sheryll-dreamer-series-nepenthe","provider":"The Untitled Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
