Madaline Harris: Ancient Nostalgia

Ancient Nostalgia: Mourning Paintings That Could Have Been brings together selections from ink and watercolour travel journals, created during archaeological excavations and research across the Middle East and Mediterranean, alongside newly completed oil paintings of the same sites, landscapes and finds.

This project is not about regret, but reflection, a tribute to the places and moments that shaped the artist, both as a researcher and as an artist. This exhibition aims to be a reflection on memory, place, and the traces we will always carry. It asks what it means to return, not to a location, but to a feeling or a lost moment, and how art can imagine what could have been, and what remains.

Come along to the opening event on Thursday 30 April, 6pm.
