For this screen print I used an old image of my brother playfully wearing my father’s shoes. I wanted this to reflect the intertwinement of the past and the present, and how in a quite paradoxical sense the past remains young and the future is old. The aim was to play with the oppositional elements of the image by making the shoes appear as if they had been coloured in by a child- drawing out of the lines on purpose, juxtaposed to the black and white colours of the child himself. Moreover the colour blocking of the shoes as well as their size, gives a sense of weight, like the child is being pinned down to the floor due to the pressure of someday having to fill in the shoes both in the physical and metaphorical sense. Yet at this very moment he is still young, not being weighed down by the trials and tribulations of adulthood, with the hands extended as if pretending to fly and a mischievous grin on his face.
