Invitation to space of memory parts 1 & 2



Dearest Peeps,

I would like to invite you to a 2 part work-in-progress / presentation of findings which culminates a period of research and development into spaces of memory and intimate narratives of the home, how we take our lares with us.

I would value your feedback at these events and your support! I am presenting my findings and process in 2 parts as an introduction to a future work.

Part 1: 64c - is an invitation to witness part of the process as the beginnings of an installation, to be viewed alone
AND IS NEXT WEEK!

Part 2: I can't find you and you've got the things I've left unspoken - is the result of a week long experimentation using material from 64c as a starting point. Please find further details below...

I really hope you can make it.

With best wishes,

Lisa
