Vampire UnicornsNocturnal Worlds: Sleep, Dreams, Insomnia, & Memory
At The Kiggins Theatre, Nocturnal Worlds opens a window into what the brain is doing while we sleep, from the synchronized slow waves of deep rest to recurring REM cycles when brain activity resembles wakefulness even as the body lies still. Artist Kindra Crick has spent more than a decade exploring the ties between sleep and memory. Beginning in 2024 she recorded her own nightly brain rhythms with a portable EEG and kept a detailed journal of dreams, worries, and daily factors that influence how well we sleep. She also collaborated with researchers studying circadian timing and the claustrum, and consulted a sleep physician focused on midlife sleep disruption. From this work she created a series of figurative paintings that translate deep sleep, REM, and bouts of insomnia into visual form. The program invites a fresh look at the brain’s nighttime labor of consolidating memories, offers insight into why some scientists liken REM to therapy that unfolds during sleep, and shares a few ideas for navigating those 3 a.m. thought loops. Crick works at the intersection of art and neuroscience, creating immersive installations and layered mixed media through research and collaboration. Her art is held in public collections including the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, Princeton University, and the Jordan Schnitzer Collection, and she is based in Portland with work on view at Waterstone Gallery.
