Palimpsest

Print for Impact of the Ancient City Series, with Oxbow Press

A palimpsest is a piece of writing material like a manuscript which is reused several times. What was written before is erased but traces of the previous record remain. As a result multiple 'layers' are visible at the same time. Freud used the metaphor to describe the human brain, and it is often used of cities because multiple pasts are present simultaneously.
