Dreams & Disaster series

Ole Rølvaag, in his novel Giants in the Earth, gives us the thoughts of a traumatized Beret who, surrounded by the emptiness of the great plains of South Dakota, wonders how anything can survive there without something to hide behind. That exposure, both physically and psychologically, makes the dream (or in this case the daydream) so powerful, disconcerting, and necessary. For me, the formless and fragmented daydreams that emerged between the debits and credits were more real and certainly more important than the ledger I worked over. And while the bookkeeping set the pace and place of my routine, those activities are now hidden to me. My dreams in the cubicle remain, timeless and placeless, exposed and personal. Dreams and Disaster is an extension of the C series. It is the dream of the cubicle.
