What Remains After the Cut
​22nd - 27th Aug 2025 (PV 21st Aug)
Erin creates mixed media work including collages, prints, paintings, and sculptures to explore deconstruction and post-structural ideology through a feminist lens. Working between disciplines allows for the content or idea behind a work to dictate the methods and materials used.
Through intuitively layering imagery when collaging, ranging from pornographic to ecclesiastical to purely decorative, she explores the ennui and general sense of inauthenticity that stems from being overloaded with information. Erin conceals , glosses over, and scrapes away imagery, until mere traces of figures can be found, in an endeavour to leave the viewer with an uncanny feeling. Erin has recently been influenced by the distressed aesthetics of frescoes excavated in archaeological sites such as Pompeii, specifically the way the artwork is embedded within the walls.
Resonance
11 - 17 August 2025
This exhibition, titled RESONANCE, is an exploration of Miral’s personal experiences with sound and colour.
Miral is an artist with Synesthesia, and so much of her art is about how her mind perceives sound, which is then translated as colours and documented in the form of physical paintings.
Being able to tap into this on a deeply emotional and meditative level, enables Miral to express a raw energy and emotion to each piece through a highly gestural approach to applying paint.
Every brushstroke, every colour, every texture, is her expression of a deep sensory experience resulting in a physical reaction to sound. All the paintings in this exhibition are synesthetic interpretations of a range of different pieces of music and sounds around her. MiraI will be doing some live painting during the week too. Miral invites people to come and experience “my world of tranquility and chaos".

Algorithmic Asthestics
Upcoming Event 9-19th May 2024
In this exhibition, artists employ a range of approaches to create pieces of art using texts and some AI generated images. Some pieces are created not using AI but about AI.
By blending traditional and contemporary techniques, the artists aim to provoke thought and dialogue about the intersection of human creativity, AI, and technology, ultimately challenging our perceptions of authenticity, authorship and intention.
The rise of AI is both exciting and daunting, as it has the potential to fundamentally transform many aspects of our lives. While it may bring about new opportunities, it will also disrupt existing industries. The question of whether AI will take over remains to be seen, but it's clear that technology is rapidly advancing and taking us to new frontiers.

Sense Of Space
Upcoming Event 21st- 28th May 2024
The ‘Sense of Space’ art exhibition taking place between the 21st and 28th of May at St Albans’ Collective Gallery in Holywell Hill, showcases the talents of ten local artists who attend weekly classes with Marina Emphietzi@marina.emphietzi in Mill Hill.
As the theme implies, the 40 paintings on display are largely centred around landscape, and the majority of the works are either in oils, acrylics or watercolour.
The group has been established more than seven years and during that time the members have really developed, each discovering their own strengths and style. Their work communicates a love of colour, texture and expression, leaving a vivid and indelible mark on the viewer
