The Den of Unboxed Dreams

🎵When we jumped in that room, we banished the gloom and gave brand new names to our toys With Midpaws and Fyly and Little Fink Skyly, we mustered an army of joys At tinkernail ships we spat the fruit pips, as we battled across the stars FIZZGOG THAK! The old team is back! We’ll keep all our wins in the jars With her cool lazer popper, no one can stop her, filling the room with those beams They bounce and go LOO LARR! Suzi plays Galactar, in the Den of Unboxed Dreams But as real as the sun, was our tumbling fun, all things do end so it seems This time we would keep, in our memories so deep, from the Den of Unboxed Dreams🎵 This piece is inspired by the imaginary creative spaces we would once go to in our minds as children. The hopes, desires and fantasies that brought stories to life, which made them feel so visceral and alive. Every room was a playroom with a technicolour adventure waiting to be explored. Wallpaper became a fantastical landscape, ornaments became rare frozen creatures, and the tv remote transformed into a laser gun. All guided by the invisible genie of play, watching over games and feeding the imagination. A den of unboxed dreams. This piece was made using original drawings in Procreate and a 3D paper model of the den, and a screenprint, combined to create a digital collage.
