Mandoon Estate presents much loved etchings by legendary printmaker Leon Pericles.
We also launch the release of Leon's newest etching "Islands of Lost Memories". Here Leon depicts memories that are tethered so they don’t float away - perhaps by love - perhaps by strength - perhaps by others. All the objects are once important things to someone. Sentimental value. It’s all very personal. These are important things and ideas passed through generations. Lessons learned and glimpses of times past.
The tragedy of Moi references Leon’s sadness at losing the shared memories from his life with wife Moi who has advanced dementia. He himself has started to lose the memories because he’s no longer able to reminisce with her.
50% of sales of Islands of Lost Memories during September 2022 was donated to Dementia Australia to help them continue their wonderful work with carers and families of those living with dementia.
