I Wish I Could Sleep represents a reoccurring dream from my childhood through automatic photography. The dream was cyclical, running from my home to the river then ocean then forest. I would bury myself in the dirt, hiding from an unknown presence, then wake up back in the house, starting the cycle over. I was running from something and to something. This project was photographed entirely without looking through the viewfinder of a point and shoot camera over the course of 365 rolls of film. My sole purpose as the photographer was to move through the landscape and react with the press of a button. The images are presented as scans of individual exposures on a film strip with fragments of the image before and after visible. The jumbled and incongruous timeline of the images represents the confusion of a dream state.
