The Nightingale Painting

This is number ll in fast sketches, though it took a little longer than anticipated. For these paintings I had made a set of wooden boxes of different width and then mounted the finished paintings onto the box. (The painting itself was done on a primed book page out of a theatre history book). It is an imaginary portrait of myself and my brother with our mother at a fairground. My father took many photographs of us when we were little and I have a vivid memory of those years, maybe the memories are a blend of what my father made appear in his dark room with me by his side and my own memory. And maybe I feel so strongly about those years gone because times have changed so much. As if holding on to a memory makes the present more bearable. In terms of politics and environment. I remember at that particular time I was obsessed with Jacques Cousteau and I was tormented by his documentaries and discoveries about the pollution of the Mediterranean Sea. I remember sleepless nights and nightmares. The fairground was a place to reset my thoughts. Or so I hoped.
