Time Past 2003

2003 “Time Past and Time Present” Villa Corner, Monselice, Italy
This series explores the idea of preserving memories and how we remember and recall our experiences. I have always kept a visual diary which contains symbols that remind me of my travels; found objects, tickets, photos, letters etc.
These works continue this idea of conservation. Collaged newspaper articles, glued and then painted over with oil paint creating an undulated surface. These works no longer express my personal experience but they are the diaries of the world, in particular they refer to the war in Iraq.
Information supplied by journalists who risk their lives to report this “news”, which is continually changing;
One day it is “news” the next day it is “history”. See Exhibitions for a full description.
