Dream Creatures
Between waking and sleep
Dream Whisper appears in the quiet moments before sleep, when the room softens and the world begins to blur. It comes close and whispers something sweet—perhaps a forgotten memory, perhaps a story you have always wanted to hear. If the words are gentle enough, a dream begins. While you sleep, the creature takes a tiny piece of it to stay alive for another day. Neither dream nor visitor is quite ordinary.

FROM THE ARTIST
Dream Whisper began with a question: what if tiny creatures were responsible for good dreams? It offers a few gentle words before sleep and takes a small part of the dream in return, somewhere between tenderness and unease.
Care
Dream Whisper is a collectible art object and should be handled gently. Keep away from water; avoid prolonged direct sunlight and high humidity; do not machine wash; do not pull or excessively brush the fibers; avoid compressing the sculpture for long periods; remove surface dust gently with a soft, clean brush; store or display in a dry indoor environment. Due to the delicate handmade construction and small decorative components, this piece is intended primarily for display and collecting.

After completion, the work ships carefully from the China studio. Standard shipping is free within the United States. Standard shipping to other available international destinations is $8. Estimated transit is 8–15 business days after dispatch. Any applicable customs duties or import taxes are the recipient’s responsibility.
