Archival Impulse is a series of collages—or automatic drawings—developed alongside the installation and publication Mobile Composition (2017–18). The works emerged as an experiment in forcing an archive and its material evidence into contact with a new materiality. Each piece incorporates photographs drawn from the archives of Aalto-designed Maison Louis Carré, where significant modernist artworks are redacted or obscured by remnants of goat leather and traces of studio industry.
