Memento Collective, a group of five contemporary artists, have found a source of inspiration in the work of Sigmund Freud. This collective exhibition, ‘Death, Dreams & Desire’ responds to Freud’s ideas and thinking through a multitude of creative approaches, from the haunting and self-questioning to the deathly and the curious. All of the senses will be stimulated through sound, film, photography, drawing, textiles and paint. This group exhibition shines new light on Freudian thinking and ideas, and will keep visitors intrigued long after they leave. DEATHS DREAMS & DESIRES We are excited to announce that our exhibition entitled 'Death, Dreams & Desire' will take place from 22nd September to 2nd October 2022. The venue is the unique Safehouse 1 in Peckham, London.
Photo Montage of Images by MementoCollective Members The countdown to our collective exhibition in September is ticking by, ever faster.... I have been working on an image to give a flavour of the exhibition but this doesn't represent by any means the diversity of the work we will be showing! Stuart has shared a few …

The Memento Collective exhibition looms ever closer and I have been imagining new work for my part. The installation is growing and new ideas emerge as I dig deep into my memories of the 1950's and my brief relationship with my maternal Grandmother- Ruby Daisy. Ruby was, to say the least, eccentric. From memory she …
It's been a while - the past few months have been a blur - emotionally, physically, mentally. All the same really, all linked, all part of the same being. The fog or blur is beginning to clear- focus, let's hope it's not just a fleeting moment of clarity. I have been reading both fictional and …
My research led me to an essay written by Freud examining a recurring memory of Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo is cited by Freud..
The idea that our memories of childhood or even recent events are as they seem or are they post memory -an interpretation based on our own experience of events mixed in with other influences such as recounted memories from others, photographs or similar incidents...... I am working on a project with the group 'memento collective' …
As a member of Memento Collective We have now launched our website (work in progress) but just to get it out there and give you a taste of what is to come and to introduce you to our members. We are working on a project which I’m finding very inspiring and which I can relate …
Becky's Bright Square Challenge- final post for April - here's the challenge from Becky : So if you have not already squared or have only squared once or twice this month, why not join us today. All that I ask is that your image has 4 equal sides, and that it reflects the theme of …
Becky's BRIGHT Square Challenge April 29 This brings joy to me every year when the blossom turns to little red buds which slowly unfold into these stunning bright blue berries with red waxy petals. Amazing flowers and berries mono print based on my shrub
Becky's Bright Square Challenge April #27 As I watch the garden spring to life every year I feel privileged that I am visited by these delightful birds, foxes, deer and hedgehogs...all viewed from the kitchen window. https://videopress.com/v/ZCRxLdWJ?preloadContent=metadata Watching the wildlife in my garden Brightens my day A regular visitor the foxes return every year- their …

Becky you were so right - it is addictive! Now I'm hooked again and glad to be back posting for your squares challenge. Your rainbow made me think of another phenomena, created at sunset. What do you think of this 'burning bright bush (tree)' 🙂 I even think there is a hint of a rainbow …
A Bright Moment every morning ...my garden means so much to me and I have enjoyed every day as it has evolved and matured and become a wildlife sanctuary of sorts. Recently returned from its debut in Letchworth Windows Project....my 100 images of my garden over the years, the thing that brightens my every morning …
Social media platforms to spread the word, or visuals, a good way to promote your art work? I have many profiles with links to my work in the hope it will be viewed and possibly attract interest in some way. One site that I especially find useful is Zealous. This site provides a profile, projects, …
who would have thought as I gaze out into my garden, with a sense of déjà vu, the snowdrops are withering and hopeful daffodils smile back, bright and sunny.
A recent critique with my colleagues at Momento Collective has been so useful in re examining my art practice- posing questions such as my use of colour- or lack of use of colour. A couple of years ago I made a time lapse video following the tide patterns in a small cove over several days. …

This exhibition has been made possible by a collaboration of Artists at The Forge Digswell Arts and supported by the Broadway Gallery as part of the Letchworth Culture Project.
After a long break this year, in December I returned to The Forge Print Studio in Digswell. I must say I have thoroughly enjoyed working there again and especially loved seeing- at a distance- many colleagues and catching up with their work and plans for 2021. Still exploring the theme of time and place and …
A grey November morning, but a day full of promise..... With plans for a day at the print studio and experimentation with oil paint and medium to play with...I have a new image I am recently haunted by, a chapel in Cornwall that looks more like a lighthouse, standing on a snowy hill. Yesterday after …
Continuing with my plan to re purpose some old canvasses I spent Friday working in my studio again. I found a landscape I painted some years ago. At the time I made it my paintings were very minimal, made with layers of paint, scrim, hessian and various materials embedded in the paint. This would be …
Inspired by the landscape and the gallery visits in Cornwall during the past week (and also after viewing the Maggie Hambling:Making Love with the Paint - you must watch)! https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000nx23/maggi-hambling-making-love-with-the-paint I returned to my studio. My sort of loose plan to rework some old canvasses or maybe obliterate the old and layer a new image/work. …
A happy place to cheerup your soul and embrace your life.
