"Journey’s are the midwives of thought."
Alain de Botton

This short film is a journey through the drawings, etchings, monotypes, and mezzotints from my solo exhibition, In Search of Lost Time in 2009. It begins on a train and ends in a train of thought, unfolding as a narrative of a real, 24-hour long train journey across South Africa from Cape Town to Johannesburg but also traverses the intangible landscapes of memory and mind. The fleeting glimpses of the world outside the shadowy interior, briefly illuminated in the sash window, may be either real or imaginary. Likewise, the works themselves, paintings and drawings made from photographs and finally presented as imitation Polaroids, hover in the indeterminate gap between reality and illusion, fact and fiction. As the train journeys onward, passing real people and places, the traveler recalls and invents others.
