For over twenty years Liliane Tomasko has explored the themes of dreams, sleep, and the unconscious. This book follows the development of her work as a painter. It begins with figurative works in oil on canvas in which she captures the material qualities of unmade beds, piles of clothes, and other melancholy still lifes and somber interiors. It then traces the gradual dissolution of these initial motifs and the emergence of her abstract paintings in which intertwined lines and layers of color are woven into visual structures and materialized as emotions that allow us to look deep into our innermost being.
