I still think about you all the time

I made these paintings over two months while staying in a derelict industrial park in Barreiro, Portugal. Surrounded by skeletons of abandoned buildings and evidence of new energies within the landscape, I wanted to create paintings in which the past and future overlap. These works are my attempts at depicting memories that may or may not have happened and images of futures that might never exist. Remembering the past and imagining the future.
