'MEMORY'

Lederle often hides figures within the larger works. It provides a history, a timeline. He builds the painting up, from the very first stroke to the very last, while leaving behind evidence of each previous stage so that it is possible to see how the painting has evolved. Each painting encompasses a span of time, intimating a gradual unfolding, the antithesis of a photograph which captures an instant.
