I’m Simon Fleming. This is my work here. Basically the work is, it started off with me discovering slides through my father’s, when he was younger. He used to be a photographer. And there I would take a little bit from one slide, put in to another slide, and think how make a great painting. The photos over there are samples of, of the slides that I have found. So I started pulling out images, recreating them. I was born in the Trinidad but left quite early. So I have this social sense of history with my family but not a very physical sense of the history. So, what I was trying to do was recreate that history through the paintings. I keep finding more slides, so I keep painting more, but, that’s, that’s the history of the painting in a nutshell.
