Paris, Texas

Paris, Texas is not so much a place but a way of remembering the past. Moving through frames rich in colour, light, and intent, cradled by the hollowed-out sounds offered up by Ry Cooder, Wenders and Shepherd gave us a lasting record of what time looks like. These paintings come from the endearing impression left behind by the images themselves and perhaps more, the emotion that accompanies the visual and auditory memories we keep. As the line between dreams and our subjective reality becomes less clear, we are well advised to stop counting time by the clock and instead do what Wenders did, let the story become time.
