I've always been interested in memory, layers (both literal and figurative) and ghostly images. I love movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Last Year at Marienbad because of their ambiguous, ambivalent, plot lines and endings. What do we choose to remember? Can we erase bad memories at will, and if so, what happens to the good memories? Is it possible to forget that you made such a big decision as falling in love, and must be reminded by a stranger, who is actually your intended? I am embarking on a series of drawings inspired by these themes and questions. The idea is to move away from the film stills, but they are as always, a good place to start.
