Artist Biographies

b.A.àbíkẹ́ is a Nigerian British multidisciplinary artist, born in the UK and raised in Nigeria before returning to England in her teens. Her professional background spanned education, social care and health, including work as a registered public health nurse. Following the pandemic, àbíkẹ́ returned to Goldsmiths University to undertake the Graduate Diploma in Art, graduating with a distinction. She subsequently worked as a Junior Fellow on the Graduate Diploma alongside working as an Exhibition Coordinator at Dame Moira Gibb Gallery, based within an adult education college. In 2025, àbíkẹ́ began a MFA in Fine Art at the Slade School of Fine Art, where she received the Chelsea Arts Club Trust/Zsuzsi Roboz Award. Her practice examines the traces of previous existences, the residues of what is left behind, and the ways these inheritances continue to shape the present. àbíkẹ́ lives and works in London.

Eleanor Arnold works across sculpture and performance. Her work explores what happens when systems begin to break down, using movement, light, sound and rhythm to push familiar structures beyond the point where they work as expected. Although these systems often appear technological, they are closely connected to the body and everyday human experience. Through sculpture, performance and installation, Arnold explores themes of control, perception and the effort involved in appearing to function smoothly. By embracing disruption, excess and instability, her work reveals the fragility and complexity that can lie beneath seemingly ordered systems.

Cash Aspeek is a South East London–based artist and artist educator whose practice explores memory, material inheritance, loss and care. Working individually and collaboratively, she uses overlooked and discarded materials—from domestic objects and textiles to scaffolding, seed heads and other found matter. Through processes of dismantling, forensic examination, reconfiguration and re-purposing, she creates ephemeral sculpture, installation, intervention, performance and photography. Alongside her studio practice, Cash develops and delivers inclusive art and design education for schools, families and community groups, specialising in SEND participants. She holds an MA in Inclusive Arts Practice and founded Redstart Arts, a learning-disabled artists’ group, in 2011. Her work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition and the McAulay Gallery, Royal Academy of Arts. The Horniman Museum holds her work in its permanent collection. Her practice has received support from Arts Council England, including through a DYCP grant.

Henny Burnett is a mixed media artist working mainly in sculpture and installation, focusing on the domestic and everyday. Current work is increasingly concerned with precariousness and fragility reflected in the use of layering, suspending and stacking techniques, and the use of recycled, temporary and repurposed materials. Her studio is currently in London. She attended Byam Shaw School of Art in London, Fiberworks in Berkeley, California, Edinburgh College of Art and University College London. She has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally, undertaking residencies in Italy and Britain.

She is a founding member of et al. collective and a studio holder at SET Vauxhall in London. Healy works with textile, metal, drawing, painting, print, collected objects and writing.

Charlotte Henrich is a young architect-to-be. Her project interests focus on synthesising the natural and built environment, as expressed in the exhibited tufted landscapes. Throughout her studies at the Bartlett School of Architecture, Charlotte researched the Italian Pontine Marshes and their hybrid land-water systems. The process of tufting the industrialised ‘marshscape’ as an immersive act of environmental activism, physically visualising the human power dynamic over nature, is where the yarn receives its metaphysical meaning of more than just agriculture, depleted marsh, and industry. As a sequel, Charlotte employs the same methodology in her thesis on post-glacial moraine landscapes, examining the Miage Glacier in the Italian Mont Blanc Massif. All tufted pieces are diagram models, looking beyond the surface of what those landscapes signify for future human life.

Georgia Kerr (b. 1996, London), recently graduated from the Royal Academy Schools and previously studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, University College London. Serge Daney wrote ‘all form is a face looking at us’. Kerr has said ‘my form is my face and my face is more self-conscious than theirs’. She describes her approach to sculpture as being like a pufferfish - a way to think and feel from the inside and out. Here, deforming and deflation become a process of shaping and shifting: a cat’s claw becomes a middle finger, a washing line a spine, and a car compresses into a clam. Through different material skins and hybrids Kerr generates a taxonomy of new objects, where sculptural language vibrates and form slips, both in resistance and negotiation. She has been awarded the LadyWilhelmina Barns-Graham Trust Award, Chelsea Arts Club Trust MA Materials and Research Award and the Salaman-Seelig Art Award.

Loveday Pride makes predominantly paintings and installations, synthesising discarded materials and exploratory painting. Rather than relaying a singular account or describing an event, the work aims to reflect on a tradition of painting and sculpture which is experimental, self-aware and precarious. Being part of a team designing, building and performing on floats for Pewsey Carnival has recently informed the work. This has expanded into working with a variety of lo-fi surfaces and materials such as plastic dust sheet, paper tablecloth and calico offcuts, building large-scale drawings, both drawn and cut, stained and calculated, out from these delicate/unstable surfaces - allowing the work to exist between covering, pattern and mural. Drawn to certain attitudes of making over the pursuit of looks, Loveday shifts between approaches. Embodying something or someone unknown feels like an important starting point in making work which attempts to produce multiple languages of images which can exist in tandem.

Sheila Woollam is an MA Fine Art graduate from Camberwell College of Arts, developing an expanded printmaking practice that investigates narrative, myth and place. Her work spans printmaking, fieldwork, installation, textiles and digital processes, combining documentation, lived experience and imagined narrative to create contemporary works that invite renewed engagement with myth, place and collective memory. In 2025, Woollam became the inaugural recipient of the Chelsea Arts Club Trust residency award, established in partnership with the Sidney Nolan Trust and Camberwell College of Arts.
