When I Fly by Sharon Kallenberger, Bryan Kring, and Lisa Rappoport

Dreams of flight are not uncommon, especially in childhood. They are often treasured memories, evocations of impossible but compelling nocturnal journeys; most bring pleasure but some take a more threatening turn. They may reveal aspects of our nature we’re reluctant to face in waking life. Sharon Kallenberger, Bryan Kring and Lisa Rappoport solicited accounts of such dreams and chose 14 to include in this anthology. Each shows a unique expedition into the dream world. The floating figures, drawn by Bryan, were pressure printed in ethereal violet ink, in a pale, gradually darkening tone as the narratives proceed; then progressively lightening on the other side. These bodies, swimming in a reified space behind the text, unite the dreamers and their dreams in a realm which the reader travels by unfolding the pages The structure expands to a 72” wide leporello, providing ample space to traverse the dreamscape.
