Dreamscapes & Spaces Between

Dreamscapes & Spaces Between is a collaborative body of work by Cyd Peroni and Nancy Miiller that uses the metaphor of dreams to explore the conscious and the unconscious, the real and the imagined, the certain and the maybe, the controllable and serendipitous.

The pair work side-by-side blending their individual photographs, hearts and minds to create one unified image. Through distortion and photographic layering techniques, they use familiar elements like water, the human body, plants, and animals as entry points into hidden meanings, questions about accepted norms, and how perceived reality may affect our view of the world.

About Nancy Miiller

Fine art photographer Nancy Miiller is captivated by the question, “Why do we see, what we see?” The idea of perceived perception is a thread through her work; capturing and/or creating what our eyes do not see. She uses manmade objects and the natural world as subject matter, to create images that challenge the viewer’s own perceptions, begging the question, “Is that real?”

Nancy has exhibited work in solo and juried group exhibitions in galleries throughout the United States and abroad. Galleries include: FotoNostrum, Barcelona, Spain; Mayo Clinic, Central Gallery of Phoenix; Eye Lounge; Art Intersection; Short Cut Gallery; Shemer Art Center; Found:Re, AZ; A Smith Gallery, TX; Linus Gallery, CA; and Light Art Space, NM. Honorable mention awards include the 24th and 18th Julia Margaret Cameron Award for Women, and the ND Awards.
