We are featured in @galleryclimatecoalition in their London Art+Climate Week 2025! They’ve partnered with @hyphastudios (and many other arts organisations) and selected our exhibition to include in their gallery map with @gowithyamo . ‘Messages from a Silent River’ addresses the climate crisis in a variety of ways, from pointing to river pollution and shrinking rivers due to global warming, to working with sustainable and found materials.

SN10222 blackShed Residency
A 12 week residency exploring the notion of what is ‘landscape’. Informed by over 40 years as both tree surgeon and artist, Jim Roseveare’s practice is founded in, and what is meant by, landscape. Elemental, physical forces and processes are a focus, but also the human interaction in the land; a mixture of archaeology, anthropology and the romanticist investigation of nature and the sublime. Through reverse archaeology, an installation builds up using found materials and detritus in the vicinity. Informed by the mundane, we travel through time, questioning what lies beneath our surface world and into the philosophical as we consider the very nature of landscape. Is it independent of us, or is there no such thing as the ‘natural’ given our role both with, and within it?
Lauris Morgan-Griffiths. “Roseveare’s art has always seemed to be concerned with the perpetual changing world; nothing is static or forever. Site number 102222 embraces that, moulding the locally sourced clay, the debris — stones, leaves, corn from the woods; in esssence, creating the local, working, ancient landscape into monumental sculptures and hand-made bricks.
Whether you start the exhibition from inside the blackShed or in the woodland, both venues quite take your breath away. The Gallery is very dark with a few dramatic spotlights illuminating two monumental sculptures made from unfired, woodland clay. They look like giant slabs, but to me they were reminiscent of gravestones; a portent of global warning but also life’s transitory nature, a sign of nothing is here for ever.”

Sweep~Landskip
15 April – 26 August 2018 Kinokino, Sandnes, Norway
Sweep~Landskip, an exhibition of international artists whose works use landscape as a concept. Within their ideas, we can find a sense of timelessness, abstraction, figuration and a mapping of its physical origins, and a cultural overlay of human presence. Traces of humanity appear where nature becomes landscape and bodies perceive external stimuli.

“Standing in front of Roseveare’s work I feel a sense of unease not quite knowing what I am looking at. Slowly it reveals its questions. Powerful, intriguing work which is full of purposeful confused intention” Curator, Roberto Ekholm

Tree Sense. Inspired by trees and their relationship to society both past and present this residency encompasses tree learning activities and the design, planting and development of living sculptural tree art. Over many years cyclical pruning will establish a stunted, gnarled mini tree scape, promoting community legacy and stewardship. ‘Art and Culture’ will be embedded in the trees themselves.
The residenciy connects with themes relating to a newly commissioned artwork by Boyd and Evans at Milton Keynes University Hospital.
NOTHING ENDURES BUT CHANGE
Ephemeral Sculpture. The London Group & Friends June 7th – 24th 2018. St John’s Churchyard, Waterloo, London.
Responding to the festival theme of ‘Transforming Minds’, the exhibition title, Nothing Endures but Change, comes from Heraclitus, better known for saying, ‘you cannot step into the same river twice’. Impermanence is a basic tenet of Buddhism. Buddhism and Hinduism share the doctrine that nothing lasts, everything is in a constant state of change.
The London Group, one of the longest-running and most prestigious artists’ collectives in the world, has around 90 members and champions diversity of work and independent thinking. Celebrating its centenary in 2013 its illustrious history mirrored that of British art for much of the 20th century and today the Group is as strong as ever, with nine shows this year alone. https://www.waterloofestival.com/nothing-endures-but-change

Speedway the resulting exhibition is a circulatory meshing of a sense of community, historical layering, philosophical ruminations on time, archaeology, leisure and present day artistic ingenuity.
