About Liz View CV "The principal concept for my current work concerns memory traces. It is the mental architecture of memory that fascinates me: the way in which we memorise experiences, how memories capture a place in time, and how they shape our reality. I use print, laser cutting, stitching and layering to explore these ideas. In my work, circles are cut away from the surface to create open, lace-like structures that integrate the play of light and shadow into the composition. This layering of textures illustrates repetition, recall and habit, which in turn make reference to how memories are instituted."
