'There are no memories of you here' 2006 - 2009
by Sam Johnson
'I could stand staring out to sea, across that flat, blue, twinkling horizon, and never forget that look on your face, that dress you wore, what you said, what you did,' 'Digital Photomontage 2006'
'I could wander amongst the empty streets and see your face, gleaming with beauty, radiating from each façade as I walked by,''Digital Photomontage 2007'
'I could amble through a deserted park and watch through thick snow as you cherished every moment of a cold winter blizzard,''Digital Photomontage 2009'
'I could walk mindlessly through towns and villages strewn with neon Christmas lights and watch as you spread the joy of life to anyone who’d listen,''Digital Photomontage 2008'
'I could breathe in the country air, miles from anyone and anything, and when I exhaled I would fill the air with you,' 'Digital Photomontage 2008'
'But as I stand here facing this cold stone beacon, with day following night and night following day, I’m sorry, there are no memories of you here'. 'Digital Photomontage 2007'
