Alma Haser – Pseudo

13th June 2019 to 19th July 2019

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will have to postpose the opening of the ‘Pseudo’ Exhibition by Alma Haser.

Pseudo is a series that plays on what’s real and what’s not. In a world where we are constantly told about Fake News, not to believe the first thing you read or are told. And where social media and the internet toy with our beliefs and acceptances. Alma explores the idea of the fake and the real and the in-between with everyday plants. Here she uses techniques of paper-layering, cutting and manipulation by hand to create multiple images that confuse the eye by contorting reality, similar to a Chinese whisper effect, or the more recent ‘Fake News’ phenomenon.

Born in 1989 into an artistic family in the Black Forest, Germany, Alma Haser is now based in London and on the southeast coast. She is known for her complex and meticulously constructed portraiture, which are influenced by her creativity and her background in fine art. Alma creates striking work that catches the eye and captivates the mind.

twixt – group exhibition

‘twixt takes its name from the notion of being in between, at an interval and interweaving. Recipients of our d/Deaf and Disabled Support Fund grant programme have used the funding to deliver new pathways towards their own goals, some artists pursuing experimental directions or new ambitions – each at their own stage of development and discovery between concept and realisation.
‘twixt showcases the work of some of our twenty d/Deaf and Disabled Artists Support Fund 2025 (DDASF) awardees, including Darlene Corry, Elly Makem, Emma Brennan, Eve Belle, Finn Nichol, Hana Abri Smith, Indigo Azidahaka, Jamie Baker, Jayne Cherry, Kate Guelke, Brian McAvera, Abby Oliveira and Liam Devlin. The exhibition includes ceramics, painting, textiles, music, photography, digital art, spoken word and sculpture.

Charys Wilson – Half Light

The work is inspired in part by the practice of forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku: a Japanese tradition of spending quiet, mindful time among trees. Research shows that this kind of intentional time in nature can reduce stress, improve mood, and even boost the immune system.
For many of us this kind of immersive experience can feel out of reach, especially during the colder months or in urban environments. This installation is a way to bring some of those benefits indoors: a moment of calm, light, and quiet connection.

Passages by Anushiya Sundaralingam

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.
