This is a continuation of an ongoing project, based on the exploration of the idea of memory. Memories linked to times of war and destruction lived out through childhood; where the trauma of extraordinary events and loss is further accentuated through the almost magical perception found through a child’s perspective.

It is a series of paper studies consisting of overlapped image transfers, with ink drawings serving as the finished top layer. Photographs of abandoned locations were used as the foundation to be worked on.
