Paris Palimpsest

One of a series of paintings that explore the notions of place through time. It records from memory a site of particular meaning (Paris in 1971) and relates this to a transcribed map of the time, creating a palimpsest of place, time and significance. The painting is made using wax and pigment to enhance the illusion of space. This medium is applied to the picture surface with fingertips, to further explore the spatial field.
