Surface Memory explores how experience leaves trace — not as image, but as imprint. Through layered acrylic and mixed media, surfaces are built and partially erased, allowing gesture and erosion to reveal what remains. The works sit in the space between memory and material, presence and ambiguity, reflecting the quiet ways experiences shape us long after the moment has passed.
Framed in flooded gum
