Paul Sergeant's recent works of three mural sized black and white
photographs were taken in England and Scotland. Exploring how experiences
become associated with a specific place, these images have been printed
large to best capture the immensity of memory. Two of the prints depict
settings that have personal significance to the artist. The third is made
up of numerous smaller images to create a kind of 'memory-grid'. Using
an almost painterly skill of brushing on developer, the images have a
fuliginous aesthetic, which are hauntingly lush and address the inconsistency
and elusiveness of memory, especially when associated with travel.
