Driftwood Dreams Gallery

Welcome to The Driftwood Dreams Gallery, a cornucopia of paper fun. Here you can find many paper art creations including unique papier mache sculptures and 3D papier mache tableaux. My Papier Mache art stemmed from a fascination with the Mexican art and how they create shrines to their loved ones at the Day of the Dead. My twist was to create living tableau and sculptures to conjure up a memory of a blissful moment you wanted to capture in time. The tableau on the left is based on the concepts depicted in Mexican Folk Art and the altars they create to capture a moment in time.

Here we capture the world of an autistic young lad taking a safe passage with his friend the tiger. The tiger represents an imaginary friend but also his strength and anger when things become difficult. The raft symbolises his safe place and the journey he takes through life on an empty and vast beautiful sea. He is often alone and his journey is long. There is a mystical element to the moon and the stars.
