type to me ( in time ribbons deteriorate ) Painting

I have a friend that still uses a typewriter. We hold a romantic view of things of antiquity; once every day items have become ‘retro’, now used by few. The dark indigo and red band running down the painting is reminiscent of a typewriter ribbon. Discarded and forgotten. all things return to dust, all will decompose the ribbon, the letters typed. We hold on to the past, mostly through memory but sometimes through physical objects that link us to a place and time. This painting is an expression of a melancholic longing for things gone; the sadness that comes with nostalgia. The painting has been made by placing stretched canvas on the floor. A brush being loaded with paint and then tapped gently above the canvas to give a spray effect; the surface becoming made up of small dots and splashes of paint giving some surface texture; although this is quite minimal as the paint is heavily thinned. Layers of paint are applied one at a time; wet-on-wet or wet-on-dry, and each layer of varying tonal strengths to the last, depending on texture and visual effect desired. Painting is signed, dated and titled on rear. Ready for hanging.
