Through this series I am investigating memory and reality. What do we remember of a place versus the physical reality of that place.  What stands out? What is focused and potent in our memory? Was that thing, light, or feeling real?  Was it a prominent feature?  And what about those things we forgot? Looking back at a place, do you remember being comfortable or uncomfortable there?  Did that place play any role at all in your comfort, or did it simply spur other, deeper memories of other places that impacted you?

Some place memories become composites. The changes that happened in your time spent there combine and compile, making a memory place that never actually existed in the form you remember.  Sizes and scale are among the first concepts to skew. Often you have a fuzzy recollection of something that was going on “over there.”  The periphery bends and blurs. These paintings render places I remember.
