The project

Memory is never still.

Lost Memory is an evolving body of drawings begun in 2022. Historical images, monuments, photographs and inherited visual fragments are dismantled and recomposed into new narratives.

Some works remain unique drawings. Others move through lithographic editions, large-format reworkings and new contexts of exhibition and reception.

Selected works

Enter through the image.

A small selection from the wider corpus. Each work opens into its own history, sources, process, exhibitions and later versions.

A different register

A touch of colour.

The mostly monochrome corpus occasionally opens into another visual register. In Tree of Life, colour, birds and geometric forms introduce humour, movement and renewal.

From drawing to object

Lithographic editions.

Sixteen works have also been produced as signed and numbered lithographs. Close details reveal what a screen cannot: paper, ink, pressure, handwritten title and edition number — and the scale of the finished object once framed.

Exhibitions

Lost Memory has been shown in institutional, museum and discussion-led settings. The exhibition history forms another layer in the life of the drawings.
