I’ve been thinking about the persistence of memory; this is a watercolor from my sketchbook. travel writer Paul Theroux wrote an essay called “Memory and Creation: the View from Fifty” included in the collection Fresh Air Fiend.
he writes, “I have altered my memories in the way we all do - simplified them, improved them, made them more orderly. Memory works something like this: stare at a square and then close your eyes; the afterimage will gradually soften into a circle - much more symmetrical and memorable.”
so into this. work from Eddie Oates, my 3D teacher this semester. I am in love with this man.
