The I remember paintings began around 2013. These paintings become 'memory palaces". All paintings in this series are 12" x 9". Specific objects or texts are sometimes included on the back (verso) of the painting. These paintings have been exhibited using hinges allowing the viewer to turn the painting to see/read the verso, like a book.
