Georgina Ralph georgiemabelart
Glen Ogden glenthemaker
Georgina Ralph is a Sussex-born artist based in London. Working primarily with textiles, Ralph explores their relationship to society and the self, particularly their gendered associations and political dimensions. Through references to the body and political movements, Ralph questions the politics of space and the expectations placed on marginalised groups. Alongside artistic practice, Ralph organises feminist reading groups, workshops and co-writes for the self-published collection Source of Fiber . Learning to Take Up Space draws on Georgina Ralph’s interest in fibre arts as both medium and metaphor, positioning textiles as a substitute for flesh. Working closely with material and through a feminist lens, Ralph questions the politics of space: who is allowed to occupy it, and why certain groups are expected not to. Rejecting Eurocentric and patriarchal norms, the piece advocates for growth and expansion, offering a vision of empowerment for those who face inequality.
Gordon Massman gordon.massman
Glen Ogden is a Leeds-based artist whose sculptures and performances explore the cyclical, labour-intensive nature of human effort. Using tools, mechanical forms and rhythmic actions, he reframes mundane work as both symbolic and monumental, blending endurance and humour to question hyperconsumption, power and the commodification of time. His practice exposes the overlooked costs of labour in a society driven by progress and productivity. Sand Timer Conveyor consists of a decommissioned onion conveyor reanimated to transport seven custom sand timers in a continuous loop, a constant state of passing and renewal. An organic, fragile process unfolds against cold steel mechanics, becoming a forced farming of time and a parallel to work life: the uneasy balance of working to live and resting only to work again.
Giulia Grillo petite.doll
Gordon Massman is a poet with seven published volumes and now paints large canvases that transform his graphic poetry into primal visual form. He works with raw elemental force to explore the psyche’s defences, delusions and desires. Massman favours the jagged over the clean, the raw over the polished. He privileges the imperfections that make us human—the fallibilities, frailties, blunders, grandiosity, hubris and loves by which humans suffer and ultimately fail. Bluebird Drowning portrays a fragile life in the form of a bluebird struggling against the vortex of chaos, dysfunction, madness, life demands of a brutal Machiavellian world. It symbolises the haywire political or social nexus into which humans are born.
Giulia Grillo, also known as Petite Doll, is a UK-based surrealist artist. Working across photography, video, and performance, her practice explores the intersection of self-portraiture and surrealism, reimagining photography within a contemporary context. Through the art of self-portrait, she morphs into different characters, offering glimpses into her imagination, dreams, and unconscious mind. Giclée print on Hahnemühle metallic photo rag paper. Framed in an original Florentine style antique frame from the 18th century.
