  • There are images that come into my head sometimes and I’m not sure where they come from.  Dreams have always been a rich resource for me and poems too and this shot came through both channels.  One of my assistants in New York was Roy Michaels, a former rock star of sorts whose band, Cat Mother and the All Night News Boys, was produced by Jimi Hendrix.  He used to play concerts with Hendrix, several hundred thousand people screaming fans and now he was painting my studio ceiling - and not in the Michael Angelo sense -  we're talking flat white Sears’ house paint.  A decade plus later Roy was happy with his life, content to live without crowds and the rock star life. He kept a little sailboat in San Francisco Bay called Invictus where he could get away from it all.  I had never heard the poem Invictus and Roy recited it to me as he painted my ceiling.  I had a dream that night and started making this little set in the corner of my loft with seagulls soon after.  These were the days before PhotoShop.  The guy in this photo, another assistant is actually hanging there suspended with seagulls tied to his wrists – he wasn’t dropped in later by a computer.  I guess this set looked pretty strange even to the artists in the building who would pass by my loft and ask what I was doing.   Some of these same artists would paint some pretty strange imagery while working through various neuroses but it’s one thing to paint a fantasy, its quite another to actually build it.

  • I built this set in Cornell University’s sheep barn to illustrate a story for National Geographic on Sleep and Dreams.  We built it over a holiday weekend and were told that someone from the animal husbandry department would be around to help us get sheep onto the set.  So I became a bit nervous when our handler told us he was going to enjoy supper with his family leaving me to wrangle the sheep onto the set by myself.  “It’ll be easy,” he told me, “just get the most dominant sheep tied to the bed and the others will follow.”  After pointing out the most dominant sheep to me which didn’t look at all that dominant, he left. I led the begrudging sheep to the set, tied it to the bedpost and waited.  I waited quite awhile.  After more than a reasonable amount of time passed I noticed that the other less dominant sheep still looked quite content to be apart from the dominant one. What may have unnerved them was that I had rigged a stuffed sheep (doomed to die at a slaughterhouse) with all sorts of ropes and pulleys in a jumping position above the bed. (N.G. does not like to use Photoshop)  Every one of the sheep had to be carried onto the set.  None came by their own will.

  • The infamous couch was given to Freud, the founder of Psychoanalysis, by a grateful patient, madame Benvenisti around 1890.  Freud's patients would recline on the couch during psychoanalytic sessions but not quite lie down as the couch is short.  Freud lived at the home, now the Sigmund Freud Museum from 1838-1939 when he died.
