Landscapes & Memories

Memoryscapes series occupies the uncertain ground between recollection and reconstruction. Working in acrylic, I render the rural landscape of my childhood: its horizons, its structures, its quality of bounded vastness, as a site of psychological rather than geographical inquiry. Structures cross the symbolic boundary breaking cultural semantics to give space to individual meaningfulness. Familiar forms are rendered unstable by their own logic. The horizon line, that defining boundary of a rural childhood, persists but no longer holds.

The works draw on the surrealist tradition while remaining grounded in the specific emotional grammar of personal memory: not the theatrics of the unconscious, but the quieter distortions through which lived experience is carried across time. Distance and time do not erase the memory; they recompose it, folding the iconic and the familiar into something that feels simultaneously intimate and displaced.

Memoryscapes invites the viewer to recognize that distortion — and in doing so, to take the measure of their own.
