Mission Statement

My mission is to rediscover, authenticate, and meticulously catalogue the scattered works of my great-grandfather John Larke—an artist whose creative legacy has been obscured by time. Through provenance research, archival investigation, and curatorial rigor, I seek to reconstruct his artistic narrative and situate his oeuvre within its rightful historical and cultural context. This endeavor is an act of love, preservation and of reclamation—reviving a voice so it is not lost to history and ensuring that his vision endures for future generations. By creating a living archive, I aim to honor his artistic lineage and contribute meaningfully to the broader discourse of art history and intergenerational memory.
