Engram #17

Part of the series "Some Things to Remember", the "Engram" egg tempera paintings unfold like a visual language of memory. The pieces hover between revelation and mystery, neither fully legible nor fully abstract, suspended in a space that invites interpretation and take on script-like qualities—organic shapes and marks that flow and cluster into installations resembling sentences or visual patterns. An engram is a hypothetical physical trace left in the brain by a memory. Collected during the summer of 2025 through research into folk crafts in Poland, Greece and Romania, the patterns in the Engram painting series are keepsakes of places and times long gone.
