Lori´s review  of  Anna and Claire ´s DREAMING PLACE blog. www.dreamingplace.eu 
 
¨For a biblical forty days and forty nights, Anna Keleher and 
her collaborator Claire Coté gave up their own dreamtime to 
wonder about the visions of the verdant Irish landscape 
sheltering them in Marble Caves Geopark. Does the land dream 
through us, they asked, eschewing the more obvious question of 
whether the land dreams at all. Artists from the Surrealists 
on have experimented with the effects of site on human sleep, 
but Keleher and Coté accomplish a critical twist by imbuing 
the land itself with the ability to dream, and by suggesting 
that we might impact it. The drawings they’ve produced to 
illustrate these earthy dreams would perhaps be more dreamlike 
if the artists had devised a means of collaborating not just 
with one another but with the trees and foliage and dirt, as 
they come close to doing in a blog image of a farmer spinning 
twine from hay still attached to the ground. ¨
