One of her favorite quotes is \"Myths are public dreams, dreams are private myths,\" by Joseph Campbell. She views her artwork as a dance between these realms. When Jennika was 5 years old she taught herself how to lucid dream. Her aesthetic is informed by how objects, environments and characters appear in her dreams: shape shifting, ephemeral, simultaneously growing and decaying. She is fascinated by mythology and folklore in different cultures- particularly how these tales can thread within our subconscious minds, almost as if the stories are organisms unto themselves. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jennika Bastian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51888084779294,"sku":null,"price":921.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0058\/3532\/files\/JennikaBastian_IMG_7203-JennikaBastian.jpg?v=1779687206","url":"https:\/\/www.moderneden.com\/en-au\/products\/dustys-storm-ode-to-aphrodite","provider":"Modern Eden Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
