Passages by Anushiya Sundaralingam
2 – 24 October 2025
Passages navigates the psychological and physical experience of migration through a multidisciplinary approach combining drawing, sculpture, and installation. Central to the work are fragile sculptural boats and vessels that evoke skeletal structures—embodying the tension between vulnerability and endurance. These forms carry not only the physical weight of travel but also the invisible burdens of memory, trauma, and cultural identity.

Art is Collective – Inner Space, Outer Place
3 July – 30 July 2025
Art Is Collective provides a supported studio environment dedicated to fostering and nurturing the creative ambition and professional development of their artists. Art Is Collective continues to develop, evolve and challenge misconceptions around arts, disability, mental health and participation. Art Is Collective is a multi-ability, multi-disciplinary group of artists. They meet every Thursday from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm in 2 Royal Avenue to support each other on their artistic journeys. The Collective emerged when artists Ngaire Jackson and Bronagh Lawson observed that some artists with disabilities or mental health issues needed more of a studio environment to develop their work.
RELIQUARY, AS OUBLIETTE – Eibh Gordon
1 May – 26 June 2025
‘RELIQUARY, AS OUBLIETTE’ is a body of work which explores the materialisation of mortality and pain through sculptural offerings and ensorcelled amulets. These corporeal objects parallel ancient votives and sorceries to manifest wellness but also act as a memento mori: a reminder that inevitably the flesh will die.
Simulacrums, representations and abstractions of the artist’s body exist in a state of contradiction. As a prayer for wellness in spite of the inescapable nature of death, as a record of the artist’s existence and lived experience despite the rise of groups which would seek to erase it, as artefacts viewed in reverence bound to be forgotten. As reliquary, as oubliette.
This body of work also reflects on the ephemeral, but enduring, nature of pain. As the body keeps the score, the artist keeps the score through material depictions.
Shedding Light – Steph Harrison
6 March – 25 April 2025
Daily encounters with the landscape became a ritual, a pilgrimage and a search for what once existed. I hovered in a liminal space, untethered, adrift. As I resurfaced, I began to transmute the darkness of loss into something tangible. The work began to transcend, redefining meaning and purpose, and offering transformation and hope. Through paint and print I tentatively began to navigate my way back. Monoprinting offered a way of letting go of control. My experimental approach to print involves working through processes: working and reworking, embracing the imperfections and accepting the outcome, as every work is tangible, unique and human: prints leave traces, no two are the same, I am not the same as I was before.
The light began to illuminate that liminal space. The use of colour in my work was in response to emotion, energy and atmosphere. Luminosity exposes the depths of darkness and can reveal to us joy, hope and new beginnings. Time cannot heal all wounds, each sunrise illuminates the way. The greys and muddy yellows are slowly transforming into the colours of life.
