Phantasmal Gallery
Phantasmal Gallery
'In Your Dreams" is a dreamlike art exhibition at Bath Artist Studios in Bath, November 22nd till 6th December 2024.
Curated by Phantasmal Gallery's Daisy-Drew Smith and co-curators Milly Aburrow and Lilly Foster-Eardley,
the exhibition explores our subconscious mind and the journey it takes us on, where our dreams blur the lines of reality and
imagination. Whether we dream about possibilities or moments of joy and tranquility or confronting our fears, our dreams
reflect the world around us and our state of mind.
Aren't Dreams fascinating in both applications of the meaning - since Sigmund Freud signified the importance of dreams in the
late 19th century - still not much is scientifically known as to why they occur! This exhibition not only presents a variety of
differing dreams, the unexpected, the wonderful and strange. We invite the viewer into the representation of dreams and how
they play a role within our lives. Each artwork selected tells the story of what happens within the unconscious mind and how
we interpret them but also the goals and ambitions of ourselves as artists and creatives as we emerge within the creative

Daisy-Drew Smith
She/They
Daisy-Drew Smith works with photography and film, their current work uses photographic prints to create juxtapositions and references to horror movies. Smith is inspired by the surrealist aspects of this kind of cinema, focusing on the dream-like and heightened reality. They are interested in the parallels that stylised horror draws from real events and the effects of trauma. They want to keep true to ‘movie magic’, using editing, lighting and practical effects to create realistic scenes of horror. Smith uses their photos to create fake cinematic universes, they think of their various photo series as different films.
​
Smith started Phantasmal to after graduating, realising there wasn't enough platforms celebrating horror in art.
​
Smith's work has been exhibited in various exhibitions, such as; Bargehouse OXO Tower, London and Fox Yard Studio. Various exhibitions in Bath, UK at The Little Theatre Cinema, 44 AD, Bath Artist Studios and Roseberry Studios. As well as magazine and online publications in the last year.
Lilly Foster-Eardley
She/Her
Lilly Foster-Eardley Art practice delves into exploring and interpreting the intricacies of the natural world by sculpting animals and bringing them to life through stylized animation and sculpture. She draws parallels between the natural world and our 21st-century civilization, like our adaptation to the lives we now lead, animals have followed, Emphasizing the feature adaptation of wild creatures within the context of urbanisation. Through this multi-disciplinary practice, she explores an alternate reality where animals take on more human-like characteristics, adjusting their behaviour and their natural habitats to survive the dynamic environment dominated by humans.
Milly Aburrow
She/Her
Milly Aburrow is a recent graduate of Bath Spa University, completing a BA in Fine Art (Hons). Through a playful colour palette and a comical stylisation, her work characterises the parameters of commercialisation, consumerist society, and particularly our contemporary food culture that defines a part of everyone's life. Depicted through mixed media sculpture (materials and techniques dependent on the subject) and installation, she explores food's social commentary, whether it associates with certain symbolisation, power, memory or societal acceptance. Aburrow's work has been exhibited at Bargehouse, OXO Tower Wharf, London, and she was recently the recipient of the 'Kenneth Armitage Young Sculpture Prize 2023' for her degree show installation 'Fill Me In' Sandwich Counter.
