‘Stacked Skeletons in Church Graveyard’ is based on one of Honer’s dreams. She recreated it in Tilt Brush, a Virtual Reality drawing and sculpting application that allows for 3D world building, artworks and multi-media narratives to be built & experienced in a 3D space. This work speaks to the importance of recognizing the influence of past generations. Having had several anxiety and fear-fueled dreams in a series about death during that period of time, Honer noted how this dream was strikingly different in tone. It was playful and serene.

The capacity to build physical dreamscapes in VR is an powerful motivator for Honer, who is fascinated by the visual language of the dreaming mind. VR art also gives Honer the capacity to present her dreams as an experience for others to visit in an immersive way, which is an remarkably different method opposed to writing dreams down or describing them.
