Spirits
When we remember the places we once visited we are often struck by a child-like wonder wrapped in a feeling of nostalgia. Places we may visit again but never with the same sense of “new” as the first time. It is as if our memories are locked to our younger perceptions of ourselves and our lost past.
We distort and individualize places, amplifying the good and slowly forgetting the bad. This series of works manifests those feelings through small, innocent, child-like “Spirits” as they return to places where people once visited. For the first paintings they wandered New Orleans, a city I have a fond memory of visiting with my family, rich in history and personality and vibrant with the life of its people. More recently they have explored Nova Scotia.
