Following a discussion with the artist, Alexis Soul Gray at Glasgow School of Art in 2024, I was invited to write a text for her then upcoming exhibition, Memory Play at Bo Lee and Workman gallery - January 2025. The text connected to ideas from within my own research with regard to collage and accumulation. The text was published by Bo Lee Workman online and in a small foldout publication (designed by Lucy Harbut) on 17 January 2025.
