The Dream Products' Range was born on the 11th of
December 1996 as a consequence of taking part in a show
run by the Glasgow Artist collective known as "Lapland". This group
started off by curating shows of multiples, usually once
a year at Christmas time. The first product I made was
entitled "The Milk of Human Kindness". As
kindness can sometimes be rather thin on the ground this
product proved to be very popular with the public. I have
continued to make this kind of work over the years which
now form the Dream Products range.
The rationale behind it, is to take advantage of the fact
that these products do not come under the Trade
Description Act. Therefore I can use language borrowed
from advertising copy to describe items which people
really desire but somehow are beyond the remit of our
commercial world. I rather favour the notion of
forgetting the impracticalities of the product range and
encouraging a collective dreaming process which will
inevitably produce a better world.
