Embodied dreaming in the archive

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The research purpose of my article is to use writing to interrogate a sculpture project of my own, using the psychic framework presented in the psychoanalytical theories of Christopher Bollas so as to retrieve actions, methods and process as case studies to support my claim. As a sculptor I will write through the ‘Others’ project to narrate, analyse and interpret my practice as it existed in, with and through the archive. Writing is not the moment of the production of art, but it offers the best opportunity to record my own projects as a sculptor. A photographic record would satisfy methods of observation, description, process and action. However, writing particularly allows me to additionally identify and articulate the theory in sculpture in terms of the work of sculpture itself. My narrative aims to evidence the idea of the psychic dimension of practice within the production of sculpture and, hopefully, contribute to sculptural theory and pedagogy.</jats:p>
