Aphiemi - New Beginnings

I often paint on unconventional surfaces to express my feelings, process, digest, and neutralise bad memories. During these moments, forgiveness becomes the currency for exchanging bad for good. ‘Aphiemi’ (Ancient Greek for Forgive) is a series of macro photographs of such ephemeral paintings that show the detail and layers of paint as if the represented memories were closely examined by the lens and rid of anything bad and hurtful. I invite the viewer to join me in this process and enjoy the resultant images that feature only the memories we like to keep and cherish forever.
