Memento – exhibition

Memento is an exhibition at Seagulls in Leeds which showcases the work of seven young artists and invites you into each artist's individual space.

Memento speaks to the sentimentality of production. Through process-driven artwork, we seek to reminisce on an instant. To communicate the intangible. A moment where materiality connects with a fleeting occurrence of personality.

Techniques and crafts are shared through generations, and these bonds belong to the process. Through repetition we reminisce, we learn and we connect.

This repetitive process of creation allows a person to be lulled into an introspective space of calm. Traditional techniques can transport us to space, and no two people will experience this in the same way. The outcomes of our creations act as a portal to our individual, intimate landscape.

Participating artists are all final year BA Fine Art students from the University of Leeds.
