The images of ‘The House in My Dreams’ take place in a very strange house of wonders. Imagine hearing music, a calliope and violin, the violin is just slightly out of tune, signaling a small under current of discord. The colors of the characters and wildlife in the small vignettes are saturated like a carnival, but there is a darkness here, almost like a beautiful mask, which nearly seamlessly hides the monster that wears it.

The disappearing of home and species is the dichotomy of humans and everything else on the planet earth. We live with lurking invisible monsters, some in the form of disease, others at the hand of man carelessly wasting our beautiful natural resources.

There is a parallel between the beauty of endangered animals and the beauty of a human life in peril. Life without a few tigers is folly, but sometimes we are unable to tame our tigers and they get the best of us.

At the core of this project is magic, and the idea that sometimes we feel that that magic is our only hope. Life is fragile and with these images Hall Brown wants to honor all living creatures, especially those that are endangered, as well as those that are extinct. Ultimately, we are all connected.
