Artist statement
The forgetting curve II
Painting from the series The intelligence of feeling, the Forgetting Curve II, explores the influential memory model which shows how learned information slips out of our memories over time – unless we take action to keep it there.
The Artist says of her practice,
"Scape, memory and identity are ever present in my work. My childhood, spent diversely in wide-open spaces with my father fishing for mackerel and at home with my mother's hoarding and mental health issues, defined my relationship to the sea and land and consequently my art practice: The uncertainty of the deep, the spirit and memory of open spaces, evoking freedom and connectedness. My work is an expression of the intermingling of joy and pain, love and loss: the human condition and tracks the line between abstraction and figuration”.
The painting is ready to hang and shows small signs of the working process on the canvas edge where it is signed ad dated.
