'Painting is perhaps entirely unsuitable for the task of capturing remembered images and scenes. It is at once too solid and too material a medium through which to explore a subject as intangible and free flowing as memory. Perhaps this inevitable conflict is what is interesting or productive about the process - a painting cannot capture how something was exactly, so instead, we get from it what we felt an experience was like, boiled down to its perceived essentials of colour and tone. We end up with a moment in time represented by its most memorable aspects, the colour of the sky, a favourite cup, the light through leaves, a map of partialities through which the viewer can seek to find (or remake) a complete picture

of their own.' - Ella Williams, Artist
