VIEW IN MY ROOM
As a kid, I loved to go to the beach but I couldn't swim so the surf was off-limits. Mum and Dad used to put this big foam bubble on my back that strapped around my chest. I was so embarrassed by it, it was kind of like a scarlet letter, a big sign to everyone that I couldn't swim. This work is part of a series that explores our adult relationships to our child-self. As children we see every day things in extraordinary, disproportionate ways. This same distortion can be seen in how we remember our childhood experiences. Silly, crazy things stick in our minds and live with us all our lives. What I question is whether these memories are true? There’s no rational narrative running through our childhood memories, the idea of a shark under our bed is a real as dad lurching at us with a wooden spoon, our imagined fears are often as frightening as immediate threats.” Don't go near the water, collage and synthetic polymer paint on canvas, 2016
