Claudia Pascolini is an interdisciplinary visual practitioner working within the expanded field of painting. Using textiles, thread, metal, paper and pigment, Pascolini explores the relationship between mind and material as they converge in the act of becoming. Pascolini approaches painting as a mode of external thinking, inviting viewers to reflect on how meaning and sensation emerge through matter. Love Remains explores the relationship between thinking and material. Claudia Pascolini allows the process to lead through cutting, twisting, staining, weaving, folding and stitching to allow associations and narratives to emerge.The work suggests that nothing is fixed, existing in a state of flux and experienced differently with each encounter. The title reflects Pascolini’s narrative, situating the work within the inherently fluid exchange between mind and matter.
Chino Ridge is a London-based interdisciplinary artist bridging craft, fashion and fine art. Drawing on a three- generation legacy of silk kimono textiles, Ridge hand- stitches inherited swatches into tactile, mixed-media works. Blurring boundaries between tradition and innovation, Ridge’s practice reclaims ancestral materials to explore daily rituals, digital resistance and conceptual expression through fibre-based forms. I Am Like a Trapped Sweet in a Jar of Peculiar Life captures Chino Ridge’s mental landscape, where past, present and future coexist within consciousness. Each thought becomes a contained object within the metaphorical jar, shaping the architecture of the inner world. These preserved fragments transform mental entrapment into creative potential, fuelling Ridge’s practice through reflection and imaginative reconstruction.
Christina Zerva is an artist with a background in architecture. Collaborating with photographer Kurt Job, Zerva explores the intersection of raw materials, colour and balance. Recent works include a steel sculpture reflecting life’s journey and large-scale mixed-media pieces that use negative space and textured surfaces to evoke emotion, tension and abstraction. Rooted in nature and history, Zerva’s practice challenges convention with quiet intensity. As an architect, Christina Zerva has long been drawn to steel. Seeing it in building skeletons inspired a shift towards sculpture, further shaped by a passion for climbing where struggle, pain and beauty converge. Paths and Summits unites these worlds, merging steel’s strength with human vulnerability. Like a mountain, it shifts with perspective, inviting reflection on personal journeys of challenge and triumph.
Claudia Barreira is a multidisciplinary artist based in London, working with ceramics, painting and glass. Although she has been an artist for many years, she only began formal studies later in life while living in Vancouver, Canada. Dialogus I is a material conversation, a dialogue between linear and spatial, 2D and 3D, flat and sculptural pieces made of the same clay. Drawing from Barreira’s interest in ancient history and the cycles of nature, the Greek noun ‘Kairos’ is defined as the perfect, the delicate, the fleeting rightness of time that enables change. The work is formed by vessels that unify the purity of porcelain with the liveliness of foraged soil and wall paintings that highlight the beauty of raw clay.
