Reverie Garden by Jessica Dunn (Sesseka) and Landon Caldwell:

Reverie Garden, by Jessica Dunn and Landon Caldwell, is an immersive audio-visual dreamscape inspired by the natural world, where viewers are invited to explore THE LUME to discover delights for the senses. Dunn led the visual component, creating enchanting environments inspired by memories from her frequent hikes in Indiana parks. Combining painting and animation techniques, she developed numerous habitats showcasing native biodiversity from surreal perspectives. Caldwell composed the audio drawing on the sounds of nature, running them through a hypnagogic filter, and summoning a contemplative sonic environment. Reverie Garden provides a space where viewers can play, meditate, and reflect.


	About Jessica Dunn, Indianapolis: Jessica is a full-time multimedia artist with an expertise in animation; illusion is both her inspiration and medium. She’s been working for more than 11 years full-time creating animations and immersive installations, incorporating animation, video and sound within physical and digital spaces. With a background in painting and sculpture, she blends traditional frame by frame animation techniques utilizing her painting skills along with stop motion, incorporating collage and sometimes claymation/dioramas. Occasionally her work extends into experiential works that involve projection in physical spaces. Jessica has continued to experiment within both physical and digital worlds, pushing the media she uses as far as possible using experimental processes.

	About Landon Caldwell, Indianapolis: For THE LUME’s featurette piece, Jessica Dunn is working alongside collaborator Landon Caldwell, a multidisciplinary artist and composer responsible for the audio portion of the featurette. His work examines environment, family and class through the language of intuition and other hidden layers of reality. Through sound, words, color, and other materials, his work creates environments that redirect attention to the present and open new realities through the minutiae of everyday life.
