These two clips belong to a segment titled 'Pivotal Moments'. Clip two follows immediately after clip one, so they are best watched together. There are more clips on youtube and on my website.

DNA · ancestry · migration · 2018 Lazarus A collective body of works where DNA, ancestral movement, maps, faces and lost places begin to form one field of memory. Following my explorations in DNA analysis, I began to trace the movements of my ancestors around the world. At a certain point it felt as if I was trying to resurrect the past. Lazarus · DNA 2018 ✦ This is a branch, not the trunk. Lazarus is the ancestral-recovery branch in which DNA analysis, maps, faces, named places and remembered ancestors join the older concerns of displacement, faith, archive and print. The 2018 Lazarus page describes a collective body of works, not a single image. Kırkağaç , Kelempes and Ancestors belong inside that body because maps, lost places and remembered ancestral faces are central to the series. Older root Maps and inherited geography Before Lazarus there were the personal maps, the lost places, the family stories and the recurring question of how a person carries geogr...

The Knight, Death and the Devil. A 2018 reinterpretation by G. Sfougaras. Part of Leicester Museum's Permanent Collection. Presentation at House Ohrbeck, Osnabr ü k June 2019 Haus Ohrbeck  is both an adult educational institution and a conference centre  run jointly by the Franciscan Order and the diocese of  Osnabrück .

OUR LADY OF LOURDES The finished icon of Our Lady of Lourdes "Our icon is now in place on the feature wall within our offices. Can I thank you once again for how wonderfully you took my rambling request for a modern painting of Our Lady, which was clearly Our Lady of Lourdes but which retained some of the recognizable features of Our Lady and created such an iconic piece. Our new Multi-Academy Trust of 21 Catholic primary and secondary schools from Nottinghamshire and Nottingham City has Our Lady of Lourdes as its patron. Many of the images I had seen were very old fashioned and unlikely to appeal to the majority of our community and I really wanted an icon which would be individual to our Trust but universally recognised. The piece you created is exceptional and captures perfectly what I struggled to articulate, let alone visualize (or even paint)!
