This exhibition brings together the work of Camilla Bliss, Jane Bustin, Thomas Pellery Grogan, Anjali Kasturi, Seraphina Mutscheller, and Ralph Parks. Working across disparate materials, these artists share a curiosity with surface, each negotiating with its ability to register atmospheric conditions and intimate gestures.
The synthetic orange of Thomas Pellery Grogan’s sculpture disguises its elemental beginnings. Across a panel of embossed aluminum, a series of curved edges cascade from a central axis in spine-like formation. This relief has been specifically designed so as to amplify the light as it strikes the panel’s surface, catalysing the reaction of the ultraviolet-sensitive dye that Grogan has coated on the aluminum. By producing the sculpture in this way, Grogan enlists it as a material witness, recording the sky, its clarity and cloud forms, during a specific midday hour.
This attention to surface takes on a devotional quality in Ralph Park’s Medicine Cabinets. Referencing the gothic style of religious buildings from the high and late Middle Ages, such as Basel Minster Cathedral, Parks’ practice redacts gothic forms to create abstracted yet familiar objects. The cabinet’s dimpled surface is a testament to Parks’ devoted craftsmanship; a gesture which encourages the viewer to linger with the object in a reciprocity of care.
The ritual act of making similarly defines the practice of Jane Bustin, who likens the diligence she applies as an artist to her grandmother’s routines of laundering, baking and crocheting. The melodic rhythms of these domestic tasks carry through into the material choices of Bleaching. Cotton, dishcloth and glycerin paper work in unison; their familiarity revoking the austerity associated with modernism’s minimalist aesthetic.
Seraphina Mutscheller’s lacquer works recall the episodic shifts of land, weather, and seasons. Rich with subtle tonal gradations, her surfaces attest to a complex material ecology. Layers of natural resin (seedlac, urushi and rattan palm) are illuminated by a wooden base primed with traditional gesso, allowing surfaces to recede and emerge as if viewed through the filter of shifting clouds.
In Anjali Kasturi’s Elegy of Bricks, materials’ properties dictate one another’s use: the structural rigidity of glass disciplines the handling of paint; paint mollifies metal; metal gives weight to wax. Soldered metal elements appear resilient yet fragile, mimicking creeping tree roots or animal vertebrae. Across these surfaces, distorted figures are etched into a smeared palette of pink, green, and grey, together evoking a mythic landscape of fog and flora.
These mythic silhouettes find a bodily counterpart in the work of Camilla Bliss. Capitalising on glass’ unique properties (its viscosity and lack of any real melting point), Bliss translates breath into totemic form. Her work engages with breath’s duality, both as an intimate register of internal feeling, manifesting in shortness or slow exhalation, and as a vital connector to the external world that dissolves the notion of the body as an integral, bounded entity.

Recent exhibitions include Lamina, Indigo+Madder, London 2025; Isolde, Locale Durocher, Montreal, Canada, 2024; A Coin on a Tongue, Espace Maurice, Montreal, Canada, 2023; La certitude est en jeu, Espace Loulou, Montreal, Canada,2023; The Weaver’s House, Strangefield, Glasgow, UK, 2023; Projet Serrure, Exposition ephemere, Montreal, Canada, 2023; l’heure du conte, Pangée, Montreal, Canada.
Thomas Pellerey Grogan (b. 1991, Nottingham, UK) is a French-British artist and researcher based in London. He holds an MA from the Royal College of Art (2016) and a BA from the École cantonale d’art de Lausanne (2014). Grogan’s multidisciplinary practice examines the relationship between sensory perception and belonging. By focusing on the residual traces of movement, he explores how certain cues ground human experience within both tangible and intangible places. His work has been exhibited at institutions including SPACE Ilford (UK), La Becque (CH), FACT Liverpool (UK), Le Commun (CH), the Southbank Centre (UK), Baltan Laboratories (NL), and the Onassis Cultural Centre (GR).
Seraphina Mutscheller (b. Krefeld, Germany) is an artist living and working in London, UK. Her practice seeks to cultivate an awareness of our entanglements with the natural world. Investigating long–held knowledge around natural materials across cultural contexts, Muscheller works with natural lacquers as both inheritance and invention. Mutscheller received her MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art, supported by Colarts. She previously studied at the Slade School of Fine Art and City & Guilds of London Art School, graduating with the Chadwick Healey Painting Prize and the Brian Till Art Histories Thesis Prize. Recent exhibitions include Woodwind (solo) (Incubator, London, 2025) and Polyphonies (Ames Yavuz, London, 2025).
