The memory is quick to fade. I understand painting is the way to extend memory. The act of painting, which requires sustained bodily engagement, repeats a memory and attempts to reconstitute it on the canvas. This oil paint was developed over a period approximately two months, based on a photograph of a large rock encountered during a journey. During the process, the painted canvas was repeatedly photographed and compared with the original reference image. Through this cycle of comparison and revision,. The repetition of memory unfolded across four elements: the physical rock, the photograph of the rock, the painted canvas, and photographs of the canvas it selfs. Each stage informed the next, extending the act of painting beyond a single surface. Thorough this layered process, the work functions as a site for the rehearsal of memory, where bodily engagement and sustained observation operate together to extend experience through time rather than resolve it into a fixed image.
