“Maculated Memory” – a new essay

Art theorist, Dr Niki Katsaouni, wrote a dissertation on Ripples of Time under the title “Maculated Memory”. Yorgos commissioned Dr. Nikki to write the essay because she knows his work very well. In 2008, in the capacity of Cultural Counsellor of the Republic of Cyprus to the United Kingdom, she organised an exhibition of the New Icons at the EU’s 12 Star Gallery.

Her affinity with the subject matter of ‘Ripples of Time as another reason for the commissioning. Like Yorgos, Dr Katsaouni was a resident of Ammochostos (Famagusta) at the time of the Turkish invasion in 1974. As such she has the profound understanding of the trauma Yorgos went through as a four year old.
