Inscribed Memory explores marble as a material in which geological processes, cultural history, and human intervention converge. The project was developed during a residency at the Danish Institute at Athens in 2026 and takes local marble fragments as its point of departure, their surfaces bearing traces of weathering, patina, extraction, and processing.

Through direct printmaking, the marble fragments are used as printing matrices. Printing ink is worked into the irregularities of the stone and transferred onto paper, allowing erosion, fractured surfaces, and other material traces to become image-forming elements.

The project takes its point of departure in Athens’ particular material context, where marble has been quarried, processed, used, reused, and weathered over centuries.

Impressed Matter builds on my previous investigations into impressions and material transformation, while shifting the method from metal and architectural surfaces to stone. Through the printing process, the project explores how marble can function as a material archive, in which the slow processes of nature and human interventions can be read as simultaneous layers.
