Antrese Wood interviews painter Lani Irwin.

Irwin makes an interesting connection between painting and dreams: “I like the undercurrents and the overcurrents [of symbolism in painting] … I like to have the objects in the paintings have more that’s there even though I don’t necessarily understand what it is. It’s like a dream … as you start to tell it it dissolves … one minute later it no longer makes sense, and to me the paintings are like that.”
