Dreaming on the Field

The artwork shows a man asleep on a football field, using a ball as a pillow and wrapped in a patchwork quilt adorned with various team colors and emblems. The dark background and glowing goalposts create a surreal, almost dreamlike atmosphere. Scattered around him are objects such as a cricket bat, scissors, and a bottle, along with a perched magpie holding a bootlace. The man’s peaceful expression contrasts with the chaotic assortment of items, symbolizing a blend of rest, sportsmanship, and nostalgia. The piece evokes themes of escape, the passage of time, and the intertwining of personal and cultural memories.
