my memory recording device / 2019, acrylic on canvas, 150cm by 100cm
…
I paint as an attempt to find a satisfying photographic image.
Text reads: ‘This is my memory recording device. This is where I record and/or make my memories when they happen in that moment, always to happen again forever in the chemicals except that my memory recording device never lets me and/or you remember my memories, but it lets me look at the past memories in the present moment at any time in the future all at the same time (whatever that thing is that brings us from one moment to the next). Sometimes it lets me look at good experiences that then become bad memories but I don’t mean to take photographs of them as no one ever photographs their bad memories.’
