À propos du livre
Sometimes dreams and goals don't turn out as we would hope. A girl's fantasies about the fairy-tale marriage followed by the picture postcard life can quickly fall to pieces in the face of human frailty and grim realities.
Shattered Dreams was a performance piece conceived and constructed by Jamie and Ashley Gray, a mother and daughter artistic team whose challenges, loves, and weirdnesses run in close line to each other. The end goal was to produce a visual that, in a quiet despairing way, would scream disappointment. The shards of mirrored glass that reflect the culpability and involvement of the viewer, the bouquet of dead roses, the fool's-gold ring, the deconstructed and distressed charity shop wedding gown, the shattered hand mirror, the slashed-on-then-cried-off make-up, the loneliness of the setting: all these are signifiers that tell the story of a dream gone horribly wrong. It's Miss Havisham on the prairies.
