Spring Chorus, 2023 by Alice Kin

This photo was displayed as part of ‘Cellophane Pie’, a group show in a beautiful building in Basingstoke. I created a musical score with symbols and various sizes of this work, from thumb-sized to A4, peaking with a rope attached to a bell, resting in an A6 repetition of this image.  

The inspiration.. I lay amongst the grasses, foxgloves, brambles and wild raspberries. Insects busied and buzzed, curious in the hunt for nectar. I was freshly washed in the river, smelling true to nature. Surely now I could fool a bee that I was a good stink, a flower?
There’s a crazy abundance in July, an orchestra of living. The human brain knows a divide, to not be one with nature, to be an observer or a master.

Here’s me, a portrait, embodying being in union with nature.

Production Transcripts, 2024 - 2025 by Joanne Masding

Production Transcripts depict images of botanicals translated through pattern-making software.

Exhibited in The Moveable Scene of the Page, and made from scans of the other artworks in the exhibition, the large prints on holographic fabric are made as ways of trying to understand the images, surfaces and materials used in the studio. Produced using free pattern-making software, the work considers hierarchies of information as well as the gaps and learning created between originals and their subsequent versions.

Climate Change Stock Exchange, 2020 - 2021 by Nathalie Coste

ELECTRONIC POETRY PROJECT was a program of online writing workshops broadcast from Thamesmead, South East London, during the lockdown in 2021.

This project, curated by Nathalie Coste, was supported by the London Community Foundation and Estuary Festival.

Texts and poems were created during online workshops facilitated by Jamie Zubairi, actor and Natasha Trent, poet. Members of the Thamesmead community and beyond were attending the workshop with the project to display their words through an LED board hung from the rooftop of the Lakeside Centre, Thamesmead.


LED boards are commonly used for advertising. The purpose was modified to turn it into a community Artwork and use it as a medium of creation and communication.

“Climate Change Stock Exchange” was showcased during the Estuary Festival 2021.
