Please Take Nothing But Memory centres on a pigment migration technique, in which layers of varnish, dirt, and superficial pigment are chemically lifted from antique oil paintings and transferred onto textile. Developed in collaboration with restoration experts, this process yields faint imprints that are then mounted within various antique objects sourced from local auction houses, selected for the way they circulate within the auction house’s value system as seemingly discarded fragments of the past.
