Memory Has Weight

An abstract artwork reflecting presence, endurance, and embodied memory.

Memory Has Weight is anchored by a single, commanding form that holds the centre of the work with quiet authority. There is a sense of mass and steadiness here, a grounded presence — as if something ancient has stepped forward and chosen to remain.

Abstract artwork Memory Has Weight by Lisa Marie Jones featuring layered washes of violet, soft grey, moss green and blush pink with gestural marks and organic textures suggesting emotional depth and quiet presence.

The Artwork

The composition is built around this central figure, broad and deliberate, carrying an unmistakable sense of intelligence and awareness. Surrounding marks feel secondary, almost deferential, as though the space itself adjusts around what stands there. Colour gathers and settles rather than scatters, reinforcing the impression of something that has lived, observed, and endured.

This work speaks to memory as something held in the body — accumulated through time, carried forward without urgency. Within The Elementals series, Memory Has Weight represents the keeper of long-held knowledge: an unseen force that remembers landscapes, seasons, and passage without needing to speak. Its presence is calm, steady, and impossible to ignore.
