My work is concerned with memory and childhood and is <strong>in</strong>tended to be a comment on loss and change. I have<br />
used the family archive <strong>of</strong> c<strong>in</strong>efilm and photographs to <strong>in</strong>fluence my pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g direction. I am attracted to these<br />
images because they are blurred, faded and oddly composed. I photographed the c<strong>in</strong>efilm as it played and used<br />
these to compose the pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>gs. This gave me another layer <strong>of</strong> removal from the orig<strong>in</strong>al event.<br />
Because memory is so unreliable and childhood memories are saturated with nostalgia and myth my pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>gs<br />
are not <strong>in</strong>tended to faithfully represent my family, <strong>in</strong>stead I present a fragmented collection <strong>of</strong> family legends.<br />
