Curated by TXTURED, Marks of Memory is a meditation on the interplay between texture, abstraction, and emotional residue. Commenting on the collection, Founder and Interior Designer Simon Mayhew states: “Every brushstroke, smudge, or scrape feels like a remnant of something lived, remembered, or dreamt.” ##Marks of Memory Inspired by TXTURED’s design ethos—layered, sensory, and rich with character, a strong sense of visual language and mark-making pervades the selection. From Tim Fawcett’s chaotic line work to Philip Maltman’s expressive painterly gestures, these pieces are not just displays but vessels of meaning and spaces that hold memory. This concept aligns with with the TXTURED belief that interiors should tell a story, not through literal narrative, but through atmosphere and emotion. ##About TXTURED is Manchester’s premier luxury interior design studio.

One of the latest creative movements to draw attention is contemporary folk art, combining traditional symbols with modern styles. Contemporary folk art blends traditional craft techniques and cultural storytelling with modern themes and personal expression. Often created by self-taught or community-based artists, it features bold colours, handcrafted materials, and symbolic imagery rooted in everyday life, heritage, and local traditions. This vibrant art form bridges past and present, offering an authentic voice to diverse communities while reimagining folk motifs for today’s world.

June draws us outward—towards festival evenings, open-air exhibitions, and the long, lingering light of the season. Yet it is often in the quiet of home that the eye begins to search anew—for something grounding, something that speaks with quiet conviction. This month, we are drawn to works that embody that same understated vitality. Artworks that anchor a wall, invite space to breathe, and lend a considered rhythm to daily life.
