Description: Sound element accompanies installation. Sound is on a tape loop with 15 seconds between each line in text. The words are whispered by an androgynous voice: To dream of dismemberment is a portent of joy. To dream you see your bones protruding from your flesh precedes blessings. To dream of symmetry is a mark of kindness. To dream of brutality and cunning indicates a weakness of spirit To dream of your teeth falling from your mouth predicts expectations eclipsed by failures. To dream of a wound signifies acceptance of fate. To dream you are helpless predicts a failure to comprehend true meaning. To dream of an amputation foretells a future of gaiety and mirth. To dream that your skin has been richly embroidered portends emotional famine. To dream of your teeth worn to sharp points forebodes low desires. To dream of your own suffering signifies nothing. To dream of sharp objects arranged in rows predicts rash decisions. To dream you perform surgery upon yourself is a sign of coming joy. To dream of scarred hands portends a moral victory. To dream you have been mortally wounded warns of insane desires. To dream you are alone is not a warning but a promise.
