Dim the Fluorescents Page #5

It sounds grandiose, I know,

but I met

some amazing folks.

So, I decided from this dream

I had, this mountain dream

that I wanted to do

a large ensemble piece.

[clears throat] I had

this recurring one

about a city block or people

at night in a blackout.

That's what nature does to you

I guess, urban withdrawal.

And then the characters came

from various subsequent dreams.

And from just sitting outside

and waiting for interesting

people to walk by.

I've a pad I keep by bed.

Do you do that?

- Have a pad?

- No.

You should try it.

It's really worked for me.

It's super freeing

to let your subconscious

do the work for you

in that way.

I have all these deadlines.

Oh, my God, June.

- Next month, I'm opening my own space.

- Wow.

It's small,

but it's mine, so...

- Yeah.

- [chuckles]

- Like, I am super stoked.

- [chuckles]

- But you dream.

- Sure, of course.

And then you wake up, all you

need is a pen which you've got.

- Uh-huh.

- And then you write stuff down.

I don't think my dreams

are particularly interesting.

Well, that can't be true. Fears,

desires, unspoken sublimated emotions,

there's all kinds

of material in there.

So this is just going directly to

the source and asking yourself

"What do I really want?

What do I need to confront?"

And then you can extrapolate

from there

in terms of how you wanna

approach things in the work.

So, is it

like a Jungian type...

Oh, there's no philosophy

in it at all.

It's literally

just write it down.

"What do I

want to do unconsciously?"

I don't have a lot of time

for exploratory stuff, lately.

June! Can I get you

a drink? Kate's here.

Could I have a Will Rogers?

- Kate...

- Uh, a Will?

Will Rogers.

It's orange. He'll know.

- Do you know Kate? She's producing...

- No, sorry, I...

Talk to Nick.

You really should.

Unless you don't want to,

in which case...

- I appreciate that a lot.

- Give me one moment,

- I just have to go say hi to somebody.

- Sure.

I'm so glad you made it in.

[woman] I'm in London

most of the time these days.

The London. I've been telling people

that I don't really know what I'm doing,

but it's kind of a lie.

I'm working at

such an amazing gallery.

My website is awesome.

The people are amazing.

Things are really looking up.

- You should come visit.

- Totally.

I'm serious. You should totally come visit.

It would be so great.

- Sure.

- [sighs]

Really miss it here sometimes.

What are you up to?

- The sound of Toronto.

- [all chuckle]

[indistinct chatter]

Audrey! Excuse me.

Hey, I'm sitting with Nick. I told him

about you. He really wants to meet you.

- What?

- Nick Kingston. The reason you're here Nick.
