About this painting
An idea originally named Ecephalitis Lethargica, the idea began as a study of sleep. I changed the title when reminded of a girl in my class at my infant school, always asleep due to a troubled family life. The teachers would let her sleep.

During sketching I added, without deep thought, many more elements from Dorothea Tanning, an artist flavoured with childhood reflections.
