Ricordi - Souvenirs

Ricordi - Souvenirs introduces a series of works centering on the symbolism of the souvenir.
Guided by a iconography collected through archives and collections, I embarked upon creating a new body of work from the compilations of these ricordi-souvenirs that I had amassed. Souvenirs allow us to remember a time on many sensory levels. Triggering sensations of nostalgia, they also give sanction to visually explore and experience other sensations and emotions - new ideas and suppositions are expressed.

In a broader sense this project heralds more complexities and revelations of, and about humanity, cultural identities and the world at large becoming seamlessly borderless.
Ricordi is the Italian word which translates into the word memory, I remember, the French translation reveals its ‘a coming back to oneself’ and perhaps as artists this is what we continually do.
