f London Memo is a set of hand-drawn illustrations, taking ‘existing things’ as carriers.Cao Xue collected life fragments like tickets, maps, cards, when living in London, and later created hand-drawn illustrations on them taking memories as the theme. The carriers (tickets, maps, etc.) represent the existence of the external being, while the content is an internal response toward the objective world. Beyond the ‘actuality’ of daily stuff, the illustration tries to reveal the inner ‘reality’.
