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.
