‘Islands of Lost Memories’ is Leon’s newest etching only just been released. Following the success of Etching for Moi, which has raised more than one hundred thousand dollars for Australian Alzheimer’s Research, Leon wanted to continue the fundraising.
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.
