The work considers the emotional responses to human relationships, especially the emotions that can be evoked by memory of relationships. Attwood views these paintings as ‘ghosts of the memory of feeling’. It is the often vagueness of memory or emotion as to why he eschews a literal or ‘realist’ approach, but leave space for a vague or unresolved interpretation to express such motifs.
