'Remembering & Forgetting' is an ongoing series of paintings by Kevin Carter. Each set of paintings features a study of three works by Thomas Moran - 'Chasm of Colorado' (1874),Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone’ (1872) and Mountain of the Holy Cross (1875) - . Each works is overlaid with a schematic detailing research undertaken by the artist into the key elements of the National Missile Defence system currently being developed by the USA.
Each painting is a record of the artists attempts at remembering how to paint, starting at 'Attempt #1' . At the same time the work is a visual reminder of his research into the NMD, as a means to not forgetting this data.
