Mementoes
Our first full year living in Orkney, captured as a print.
I love beachcombing. You’re welcome to join me, but you have to promise to wear lots of clothes with big, empty pockets. Mementoes is a celebration of that love, and how these collected small natural finds have come to represent so many of the equally small yet important moments for me in my first year living and working in Orkney. It’s an homage to a variety of events, times and places, rather than a specific representation of one. Each object in this print - be it shell, curtain, feather or view - has a story to tell, and whilst these are personal to me, I want it to touch that part of all of us - perhaps abandoned to childhood - that yearns to bring that stick/stone/feather home from the walk because It Is Important.
