Haley Moore is a multidisciplinary artist and designer. Her work is inspired by connection, tactility, and eco consciousness. Surrealism and the state of wonder are themes she explores through making children’s books and textile art.
Her children’s book, The Wild Window and the Garden of Sleep and Sound invites readers into an imagined dreamscape where each character of the Latin alphabet is personified. To her, there are connections between the state of learning an alphabet, and the state of dreaming.
