Journey To The Centre Of The Memory Palace.

Journey To The Centre Of The Memory Palace is an exploration into the symbolic language of ancient history.
Through the mytho-poetics of the human and non-human experience, this ongoing study intertwines esoterica, cosmology, and ecology with the ritualisation of landscape.   
This project aims to contextualise, preserve, enlighten, dispel and inspire insights from the deepest archetypes of collective memory, to present mythology and folk memory as valuable tools for re-aligning the self and society towards the sacred.
