ellipsis

hidden in the ellipses
somewhere between memory, archive and history great stories hide.
ordinary lives imagine extraordinary tales
half forgotten images are tied together by memory
often quoted with much hesitation, many omissions and a certain lack of clarity.
it is those stories that interest me.
that indeterminant betweenness lurking just out of reach
that unfinished sentence glossed over by …
that … in a quote it is assumed that we are all familiar with

it is that omission, that hesitation, that lack of clarification that has shaped this collection of paintings.
