If Memory Serves Me Well is a new commission by artist Charlotte Dawson exploring memory, ritual, loss, and the emotional relationships we build with and within shared spaces.
Through sculptural intervention and material exploration, the work considers how traces of human presence become embedded within everyday environments; from sacred sites and roadside memorials to communal rituals and acts of remembrance.
Using materials associated with fragility and repair, including ceramics, fiberglass and artificial flowers, alongside light, repetition, and spatial installation, the exhibition examines the tension between the sacred and the ordinary, exploring how spaces quietly hold emotional residue after people have passed through them.
