The PALIMPSEST series continues from my landscapes and other series: over a fully realized painting, I add layers of oil paint and mixed media to produce an obscuring effect on the image akin to the processes of memory and forgetting.  I am interested in the way images of our personal and collective memories often push through layers of time and new experiences into our thoughts.
