Mysterious Depths: Dreams, Mortality and the Subconscious Human psychology has
fascinated artists, writers and thinkers from the dawn of civilization.
This display explores how artists from several eras have searched and
questioned our perception and experience of the world through
contemplating the depths of the human mind. Three recurring and
interconnected themes can be traced: the mystery of dreams; the concept of
the human subconscious and inner vision; and the unavoidable and
unknowable realms of our own mortality.
