Lingering Traces is a series of contemporary abstract paintings on canvas built around
what remains after movement, emotion, and interaction.

Nothing fully disappears. Marks persist, shift, and re-emerge in altered forms.

The surface becomes a record of decisions, interruptions, and returns.

About the Theme of Lingering Traces

Lingering Traces is a series where I investigate the residue of experience, the marks that time, emotion, and interaction leave behind even after the moment has passed.

Each work is built through layering, erasure,
and reactivation.

Lines, textures, and color fields accumulate over time, forming compositions that hold both presence
and absence simultaneously.

Rather than fixed structures, these paintings reveal residual systems, in which past gestures influence what comes next, and earlier decisions remain embedded
in the surface, even when buried beneath new layers.

The canvas becomes a palimpsest: a surface written over, again and again, but never entirely erased.

What the viewer encounters is not a finished image
but a record of everything the painting has been through to arrive at what it is now.

MORE ABOUT MEMORY, MARKS & THE PALIMPSEST⇢

This series extends my practice of psychogeographical mapping through the lens of residual memory and spatial trace. Each painting functions as a record of accumulated movement, a surface that maps not where we are but what we have left behind. Memory and erasure act as coordinates of experience: presence vs. absence accumulation vs. dissolution what persists vs. what fades the visible trace vs. the buried mark Each composition reflects how we carry the residue of past environments within us, how places, emotions, and interactions continue to surface in altered forms long after we believe them gone.

These mixed media abstract paintings combine acrylic, color tape, yarn, and wood blocks on stretched canvas. Color tape establishes boundaries, zones, and directional shifts Yarn traces fragile, meandering connections across the surface Wood blocks introduce weight, interruption, and architectural pause Acrylic is applied in layers, built up, partially erased, reworked The process deliberately mirrors the theme: each session adds to and partially obscures what came before. The painting accumulates like memory itself. selective, layered, and never entirely resolved.
