A multimedia installation exhibited at the West Cork Arts Centre, Skibbereen, Co. Cork, 2009-10; Gallery 817, Anderson Hall, UARTS University of the Arts, Philadelphia, USA and the Yarra Sculpture Gallery, Melbourne, Australia, 2010.
The title of the exhibition explores the idea of ‘I’ as a thinking presence, while ‘dreamed’ questions the nature of reality constantly in flux, ‘you’ is experienced in terms of an existential quandary of the other, questioning how we understand ourselves through others and the world around us. Can we be sure reality exists? Is it a dream, a series of thoughts? I thought I dreamed of you presented a series of fragmented realities exposing the illusion at the heart of perception through a series of post-modern possibilities. Fake documentation of a nonexistent mural in the exhibition space (which took the form of a drawing on a photograph) was exhibited alongside a similar mural in the same space, creating slippage and dislocation of space and time, fact and fiction, confounding reality. Other works in the exhibition included photography, a photo album, video, neon, drawings, display cases, and badges.

Drawing based on a drawing of a view of the cliffs at Mizen Head, which has been drawn on a photograph of the gallery space to suggest a second installation of the wall painting, which never existed. Exhibited at the West Cork Arts Centre, Skibbereen, Co. Cork, 2009-10
The video represents a different form of engagement with the landscape. Using found video footage, the romantic notion of the desire to be immersed in landscape is turned on its head when faced with the reality of how young people engage with their surroundings using cars in a sport called ‘doughnutting’. Exhibited at Gallery 815, Anderson Hall, UARTS, The University of the Arts, Philadelphia, USA, through The Multidisciplinary Fine Arts Program, in collaboration with the Von Hess Residency Program, 2010
