"My destination is no longer a place rather a new way of seeing."
Attributed to Marcel Proust this aphorism is in fact a paraphrase of "the only true voyage of discovery... would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to behold the universe through the eyes of another..." from the French author's In Search of Times Lost vol. 5 The Prisoner.
It is written in a calligraphic hand on antique blotting paper and merged with a rough yet tactile stone. A literary ornament for lovers of the written word.
approx. dimensions 9 x 5 x 5 cm

The work of collage artist Lito Apostolakou hosted in Inklinks discusses narratives of time, words, memory and history. Lito uses antique papers, archival ink, vintage prints and worn stationery to create 3D collages on found objects like stones, wooden boards and writing cases. Her pieces are inspired by literary works, museum vitrines and archival exhibits as well as by the actual tools of mark making and their histories.
Lito works from her home studio in Muswell Hill, London.
