3 Stories in Black and White is a series of small paintings on paper made from personal remembrances, following 3 years of work on installations about the Iraq war.

They emerge from the dark, from memories, from the past

Just below the surface, just above the surface

Murky and dank, blurred, blank

Can’t see clearly, can’t make out the forms

They come forward

Pull back, move out of the picture, then slide back in

Always the same,

Just out of reach, but for a moment of glimmering clarity.
