Memories of Childhood Re-imagined, 2011, Queen’s Park Gallery, Barbados.
This triptych continues the “Memories of Childhood” series, which was begun during a visit to Helsinki, Finland during 2009. Please see older posting of 30 July 2010.
Those works combined mono-prints and collage and were inspired by Kinderszenen   (“Scenes from Childhood”), Opus 15, by Robert Schumann, [which] is a  set of thirteen pieces of music for piano written in 1838. In this work,  Schumann provides us with his adult reminiscences of childhood.
This new triptych is a digital photographic collage.
There are some obvious linkages between “Memories of Childhood Re-imagined”, 2011 and “The Last Of ……….” 2011.
