_me[zangelle]:samosely_ involves the documentation of dreams and themes related to their analysis. As dreams are in essence a type of re-worked [subconscious] identity coding, this project explores the notion of dreams as existing in a habitation zone where identity is fractured and normalised boundaries of self explode outwards in a melange of reconstructed text, image + otherness.
The project involves a type of creative documentation/interpretation of projected altered states of consciousness + thematic similarities with people [samosely] who physically, and voluntarily, inhabit zones of potentially destructive forces. This state of geophysical alienation is mirrored in the spaces that human consciousness manifests in dream states.
"Mez (aka Mary-Anne Breeze) ties experimental language to avatar creation and collaborative networking to explore complex and often contested political and social themes. The originality of her approach with its rich integration of the various aspects of her praxis has repercussions beyond aesthetics…. she distributes her work in ways that exist beyond the scope of the capitalist print fiction industry."

The impact of her unique code/net.wurks [constructed via her pioneering net.language<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezangelle> "mezangelle"] has been equated with the work of Shakespeare, James Joyce, Emily Dickinson, and Larry Wall.
