Arshile Gorky
Gorky was born  on April 15, 1904 in the village of Khorgom which was on the shores of Lake Van. He fled during the Armenian Genocide, along with his mother and sisters. After his mother's death, when he was 16, he came to America.
He went to The New School Of Design in Boston Massachusetts. In the 1920s, his work was impressionist and postimpressionist. In the 1930s, he first experimented with cubism, then surrealism.

Grattage involves placing textured materials under a canvas or paper and making impressions of the texture, sometimes by scraping off layers of paint. Grattage was used by surrealists such as Max Ernst and Joan Miro.

I have not paid close attention to my dreams in the last several weeks. A couple of months ago I had one that I still remember sort of clearly, but it is not very coherent or significant.
 When the dream started I was walking into a place like a supermarket with my grandmother on my dads side. In the "supermarket", there were elderly women at booths and they advised  my grandmother. From there the dream shifted and I left the "supermarket". I was then in a square with my friend, and there were monkey bars around the square with some sort of structure in the middle which forced anyone who wanted to go around the square to use the monkey bars. There was somebody at the far corner of the square timing the people and telling them when to go. From here the dream shifted again and I jumped over a train in a sled.
