Anna de Waal is a London and dreamscape-based writer, editor, pilgrim, researcher, and altogether strange girl with a bleeding heart. She studied English at Cambridge University, specialising in the dream diary and the ‘night-time language’. Her creative work delves into the possibilities of dreamscapes as supra-realities, intersecting with the symbolisms of girlhood and the traumatised unconscious. Her texts are displayed as artefacts or relics; they reflect her belief in language as a material craft. 

She lives in the unreal hermitage that is the land of the symbolic: the fluids of milk, tears and blood, haunted-seeming dolls and their residencies in the house, church bells, the rabbit and the hare, the prophecy and the archive of memory, blackberry-picking, the fairy tales that go wrong and uncanny / unhappy. Above all, hunting down the sacred via the phenomenology of the ritual. ♱🕊
