Monica Findlay is a Glasgow-based maker creating tactile objects and jewellery inspired by a curiosity for the material past. Designing based on a nostalgic response to archived artefacts, Monica uses a variety of techniques to emphasise the interrelation between memory and object. 

Etched textures and delicate wirework replicate and emulate inscribed memories while embossed traces convey the absence of passing objects that once were in contact with the surface. Bringing together storytelling and archaeology, her body of work explores tangible remains and their surface qualities as important signifiers or touchstones of memories both ancient and modern.
