Laurence Karl Jansen is an artist whose painting practice explores the gestural and symbolic possibilities of mark making. Drawing on field studies and media sources, Jansen creates works that reflect on the intersection of nature and technology, imagining an abstract urban ecology. Through these layered signs, Jansen explores the search for meaning and the potential for symbiosis amid social, technological and environmental challenges. Stem from Spring is a large figurative oil painting. The deconstructed figure reflects on identity and the posthuman condition, merging the boundaries between technology, humanity and environment to imagine a symbiosis between society and nature. The work incorporates spring symbols such as the daffodil, representing seasonal change and renewal.

Lauren Little is an artist, educator and curator based in London. Working with hand-cut collage and painting, Little explores fragmentation and reconstruction as a way of reflecting the slow and uncertain process of becoming. Each composition meditates on memory, emotional residue and the spaces between presence and absence. Always Never There is inspired by the feeling of piecing identity together, the in-between and the becoming, the echoes of who once was and who is still emerging. Each cut and each shift serves as a reminder that even in states of fragmentation, there is a path back towards wholeness.

Laurence Davey is an emerging artist whose background is in screenwriting. Now immersed in sculpture, Davey explores material expression and narrative form. Drawing on a foundation in storytelling, Davey investigates how ideas of presence, structure, and space can convey meaning beyond words. Scene is an ensemble of carved wooden sculptures that dramatise the tension between creation from the void, the overflowing of life, and a scene of ritual violence, exploring how forces of life and death interact. The wood, sourced from across England, also embodies animistic ideas taking form in the modern world.

Lena Zycinsky is a Belarusian-American poet and artist based in London. She holds an MFA from New York University and has published several poetry collections. Scars 2020 is an embroidered work capturing a harrowing moment from the Women’s Marches in Belarus. These were mass protests led by women against the authoritarian regime. Stitched in raw red thread, the piece conveys both physical brutality and emotional trauma inflicted on peaceful demonstrators. The tactility of embroidery recalls wounds, visible and invisible, serving as a metaphor for resilience under repression.
