Babette Robertson continues her ongoing investigation into the structures and residues of dreams in her solo exhibition And her hallway moves like the ocean. Each work begins with a written account, then moves through watercolour studies that distil the logic, atmosphere, and shifting symbols of the dream state.
These fragments become the basis for large scale paintings and sculptural forms, treating dreams not as private stories but as shared symbols drawn from a collective unconscious. Robertson is interested in how dreams register and reshape the pressures of the present. Dreams do not look away. They distort, repeat, and insist that we confront what waking life often obscures.
