The Dream of the Cherry Tree is a playful take on a medieval manuscript. A queered pantheon of god, Mary and the angels yearn, bicker, labour and rebel in an extended poetic mystic vision, moving through an erotic, dream-like world. Exuberant hand-drawn letters head each page, accompanied by dense multifaceted images like stained glass windows. 

Mel Deerson is an artist and writer. The Dream of the Cherry Tree was developed from Mel's time as the Monash Prato artist in residence in Italy, 2023.
