this is how i think of you #1

I've been thinking about how we remember and contemplate the people who are close to us. What are those little things, gestures and idiosyncrasies that captivate us when we think of them?

This little project is all about the way we recall the particular physical aspects of people in our lives and how this represents our feelings for them.

the process
1. choose an image of someone close to me.
2. repeatedly draw over and over again a fragment of their body that I find significant until I remember how to draw that fragment without the image.
3. lightly sketch the fundamental lines of the drawing into my album.
4. paint those lines in colour

this is how I think of you is a series of paintings that will culminate in a little album of how I remember all these people and have learned to be closer to them.
