Monuments
2026
Plaster, wood, emulsion paint, aluminium, light, plaster, wood, charcoal, chalk
Monuments are scattered across the pavement on our long walks home. A discarded puzzle piece, a dead rat, a shoe print fossilized into wet concrete, are lit dimly by a row of street lamps that all turn on at the same time each evening.
These found images are a form of contemporary archaeology, each representing a micro-history revealing tales of loss, love, and meaning embedded in urban life.
In the few moments before and after pavements are restored to their pristine nature, these objects are documented and presented on blocks erected to commemorate each unspectacular event.
𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 presents an alternative archive of the urban environment through these sculptural images. Perhaps in a hundred years, these impressions will persist as artefacts. Evidence of how life was lived in this moment, how we moved through these spaces, and how meaning accumulated in the most ordinary paths taken home.
