artist's statement

torn memories series

Memories are not the real thing. They are filtered through time and emotion. Somewhat altered, foggy, vague, they comfort us in their stillness.  Both detailed and blurry at the same time, they allow us to touch the previous times and places that make us who we are.  These images seem to be torn from my past, a page out of a previous life, subject to interpretation each time.  Just as a memory may vary from time to time, each print will vary according to my own feelings while printing.  No two prints are exactly alike; no two memories are exactly alike.
