Past Imperfect
Past Imperfect is the story of Richard Twose, a painter who in the absence of models to paint, started to re-visit his childhood. This process brought up memories of how difficult his childhood had been. Since he is a painter, it was natural for him to respond to this by painting the memories that surfaced. He painted his childhood and family myths and stories that he had grown up with. By and by, he began to articulate the adversity and pain of losing the safety he deserved as a child.
