Gazing Down On It

Lauren de Sá Naylor

Gazing Down On It is a collection of dream narratives, of language as weapon or prayer, compiled in the plague year of 2020. These fragments iterate a pervasive concern with embodiment in relation to others, boundaries and their transgression, and the shifting/slipping quality of “roles” and “identities” such as wife, mother, daughter, parent, queer, artist, witch and especially, woman (all terms that discomfort).
