For our Book Seminar class we had to read "Ostracon," A short story by Alex Ross about an elderly woman who is showing early signs of Dementia. From this we had to come up with a series of images based on a theme of our choosing that related to the story. I chose to paint a series of images about the relation between memory and the senses. This is the first piece, based on touch...showing an elderly woman examining the aging process of her hands.
