The collective unconscious, a concept originally defined by psychoanalyst Carl Jung, refers to the idea that the deepest unconscious mind is common to mankind as a whole. Adopting a socially-engaged practice, Scully collaborates with people experiencing homelessness in Dublin city. Through conversation on the streets and drawing workshops held at drop-in centres, Scully opens the door of the subconscious and attempts to illuminate the imagination of people experiencing homelessness. Their dreams, etched in copper, transition from a fleeting imaginary narrative to a concrete form.

Each patch, an individual story. The quilt, a collective unconscious.

The Peter McVerry Trust have expressed their support for the project and worked with Scully during the development of work.
