on plates

dragon and phoenix plates

a present 

we gave to ourselves

after we lost trace of 

the set of plates

given to us

on our wedding

some portraits

therefore

done on these plates

are self portraits

taken from

old photos

to retrace

some other lost of trace-moments

 ( the use of a new surface as painting arena began only in 2015, after having stored too many works in my storage- instead of constructing more surfaces such as canvases, why not paint on some no longer used surfaces, such as old plates , windows, or walls )
