Messages from a Silent River

4 Nov 2025

I am delighted to have been invited to join Ground Collective as part of Messages from a Silent River showing in London during November.
This is a multi-disciplinary exhibition inspired by the lost course of the Walbrook River - once an open waterway in Roman London and now a silent presence beneath The City. The theme provides a lens for the artists of Ground Collective to explore a range of ideas, from the city's forgotten past to the urgent realities of the global climate crisis. Weaving together sculpture, painting, installation, printmaking and video, the exhibition is informed by walks taken in the area with artist and mudlarker Mark Sowden.

Ground Collective is made up of a core group of multidisciplinary artists, a poet, and changing guest contributors. United by a shared interest in place, they create work in response to walks and encounters with the everyday - gathering materials, impressions, and ideas from both rural and urban environments.
Participants include: Madi Acharya- Baskerville, Tom Banks, Heidi Erbrich, Joost Gerristen, Tracy Hill, Sam Hodge, James Roseveare, Yumino Seki, Mike Sims, Mark Sowden, Matthew Swift, Marcia Teusink
