Stimming by Mostyn Bramley-Moore explores the vulnerability of cultural memory and the human impulse to reconfigure reality. In a time where misinformation, erasure, and the degradation of knowledge are part of everyday life, Bramley-Moore reflects on how documents and cultural narratives are reshaped or lost. Inspired in part by Irene Vallejo’s Papyrus: The Invention of Books in the Ancient World, these paintings reference themes of palimpsests, erasure, and cultural loss.
Created with graphite and acrylic on canvas, the works in Stimming evoke a layered, tactile engagement with time and memory. They suggest fragility, transformation, and resistance—both personal and collective.
