Dream

Against the backdrop of the mouth of the River Don, Charly Rattray and her muse Marlee Von Ostrand set out an ethereal and surreal series of photographs. With a muted colour palette and the employment of a particularly aqueous quality of light, the familiar landmarks of the area – the river, the dunes, even the sea – are transformed into a somnambulic landscape between waking life and sleep. Each frame of Dream moves through this landscape, rousing slowly and steadily towards the point of lucidity.
