​Butterflies
 
She turns the pages
tracing cellophaned faces
beaches and sunsets:
coloured strands of time.
 
Caressing trailed images
with well-worn fingers
imprinting memories,
seeing with her mind.
 
The fragile wings of time pinned down;
the camera never lies.
She twists her floating memories
Into glossy captured slides.

​About This Piece
​
This painting reminds me of a city skyline with a beautiful sunset reflected in the water. What does it say to you? 

The poem describes the way photos capture our memories. As I was looking back through an old album, the photos bound to sticky pages behind cellophane, I wondered at the role photos play in our lives. When I took those photos so long ago, I took them as a prompt to remember that wonderful moment. When I looked at the photo then, it reminded me of the feelings and emotions of the day. But as time passes, I look back through the old photos and realise my memories of the actual event are fading. Instead of the photo acting as a prompt, it has now started to replace the memory; the prints have started to create their own story. Did I misremember the weather, the people, the places in the background? My memories begin to merge with the photos, creating new pictures in my mind.
​
The background of this painting is alive just like the cellophaned pages in the poem; the paper is not bleached so it will continue to colour as it ages. The paint colours will not change. I find this kind of living painting fascinating, but if you prefer to keep the white background, consider buying a print instead of the original.
