Memory 2009


These are from a project I worked on last year. The inspiration was how memory works. I was exploring 
how we remember certain things and how other memories are lost. We cover memories with other events and interpretations and I wanted to visualize this is painting. 


Acrylic and mixed materials on paper.

The below are working prints based on some jewelry I was left by my Great Aunt. Most of it was broken and clearly never worn. I was affected by how the reason for her keeping them for so long was lost along with her memories of them.  



                                       


 

Screen print, marker pen on acetate and oil paint on paper.



Van Dyke, dried acrylic used to collage with found materials



Manipulated photography with Van Dyke and bleach.




Acrylic and screen print on canvas.

This is a set of three paintings I did mid project.
I then started exploring age, it was important to create a feeling of time passing and age in the work.



Film photography. My true love.




Nan, Granddad and my dad. I think these photos show a different time and a sort of half memory for me. I know the people but not the scene. My knowledge of the photograph is from another's description.
