Description:
Painting of four black clad figures in hats carry an electronic keyboard through a desolate landscape of four bare trees set against a pale purple sky. Artist's statement. ‘Painting from memory is a way of exploring how the mind works. Images are formed from fleeting daily impressions, thoughts and ideas translated from the literal or musical into the visual. The restrictions of the medium are very little (…). “Mourning Electro” came from the title of a play, “Mourning becomes Electra”.’
