Crip Zines - The Slow Practice Collective, 2024 - 2025 by Luminara Florescu

These two Crip Zines are my first act as originator and co-curator of The Slow Practice Collective which brings together a group of artists who face a range of barriers to participating in the Art World.   The Zines are sent to selected artists via Snail Mail and there is an offer to participate in an Art Swap if it feels right to the artist.

Junk Mail, 2022 - 2024 by Lucy Bevin

I frequently visit my 96 year old Aunt's house where she has lived nearly all her life, my previous work Uncanny Home and Hidden Room  are based on my research about ageing in place, care and memory. My Aunt's house has been the subject of this area of my practice. As she ages in place her connection to her things becomes stronger, surrounded by her stuff, piles of paper, junk mail, fabric, bedding, old clothing and detritus as well as many cherished objects, ornaments and soft toys and their accumulation over many years.

I began making versions of rooms using scale models to create interior spaces based on my Aunt's house which formed the basis of a series of short film pieces examining the concepts of memory and the uncanny. I then took elements from these works notably domestic objects, ornaments, junk mail also using the notion of  hoarding all of which acted as the starting point for a series of sculptural works titled Junk Mail.

Spring, 2023 by Darius Martisius

The balanced organic forms vividly showcase harmonious natural processes as they bend, curl, and grow. The soft, white, flocked surface of the biomorphic shapes contrasts with the energetic, bright elements of the adjacent object, effectively conveying the object's mood. This work is carved from wood based on automatic drawings and poetry.
