Why It Matters
The dream-focused title leans into the surreal, psychological side of Chevrier's work, where comic fragments blur into reverie. At an edition of just 75 in a large 24 x 32 inch format, it is a comparatively scarce and imposing entry, combining presence with a tighter run than many of her giclées.
Collector Perspective
The Moab Entrada substrate and hand-deckled edges reinforce its standing as a fine-art print. This is a work suited to prominent display and to collectors valuing lower edition numbers.
Historical Context
The 24 x 32 inch giclée sits among Chevrier's statement-scale editions. Its dream imagery continues her interest in the interior life of her subjects, where the layered comic surface functions less as armor and more as the fabric of an imagined world, extending the Cages metaphor into subconscious territory.
