The concept of collecting and retaining memories fascinates me. I work mainly from old photographs, using my own and others found at random in charity shops or on bric-a-brac stalls.  As a painter my main interest is focused upon the visual impact of memory relating to place, time and movement. The humble snapshot photograph can bring back memories of previous times and events. Other people's photographs can assist us to recall forgotten memories: in effect using someone else's image to recall memories of our own, whether real, imagined or distorted.
