Dream Departure is the journal of an artist’s return to creative practice. In my younger years, as I struggled with drug abuse and depression, I most often felt creatively blocked and stymied, yet my dreams remained a consistent source of inspiration, and of real information. This channel remained open when all others failed. I now intend to honor it as a primary source.
There has always been a kind of threshold here, and my return to mental health has made this more clear. I was ever afraid that, with sobriety, a kind of magic would be lost. There is something kind of cool about self-destruction when one is young, but it has no legs for the long haul.
