Sandra Moore

Artist Statement

The Soup of Sleep takes us on this existential trip through the cosmos, but Moore never takes things too seriously. The journey is often playful and emotional…We see an old-time cartoon character.. .flying over buildings and fields, and then falling to earth….We’re left with gasps and queries — where am I floating to? Who’s that doctor? Is that a cell or a planet?

Moore has spent time as both an artist and physician — she practiced medicine for 25 years — and you can see the influence of the natural sciences in Soup of Sleep. Or more accurately, you can sense the intersection between science and spirituality. Moore’s filmmaking process included observing her visual field as she fell asleep and as she awoke. Though the film floats us along streams of consciousness, we are also grounded by the voices of authority — an anesthesiologist, a Buddhist reverend, a stentorian lecturer — like voices in waking life heard through a dream.
