Curatorial Review of Niita E. in the Meta Space Spring Show
Without the Love (2023) utilises a digitised collage which showcases the endlessness (emptiness, loneliness and silence) of the Namibian landscape while contrasting and comparing it to the more metropolitan setting of London. Within the lower centre of the work is a figure that seems to be navigating the solitary environment of the landscape which is…
Curatorial Review of Emily Carney in the Meta Space Spring Show
In My Happy Place (2025) has salvaged buttons and comic book pages which are connected through the usage of acrylic paint. The black background allows these elements to pop out impressively – especially with the acrylics as the lines and marks are extremely vibrant. The foliage and the tree within the work are composed of…
Curatorial Review of Delia Zorzoliu in the Meta Space Spring Show
Sanctuary (2025) is a portrait-style work that features a woman who is facing the viewer directly. Inside of the woman’s hair is a bird, its nest and the eggs within the nest. A spider dangles down with its web from the hooped earring while another bird flies towards her. The two birds seem to be…
Curatorial Review of Lee Smith in the Meta Space Spring Show
Portrait of Chucky (2024) is a realistic painting of Chucky that successfully captures the menacing presence of Chucky and the eeriness of the character. The painting technique pays great attention to the details within Chucky’s face, especially with the scars and staples within the face adding to the menacing atmosphere of the painting. Furthermore, the…

Curatorial Review of Sean Bw Parker in the Meta Space Spring Show
Ricky Gervais (2024) is a very stylised, possibly Cubist-influenced approach to a portrait of Ricky Gervais. The structure of the face has been fragmented and slightly overlapping each other yet still retains the base facial structure. However, what sets it apart from a more Cubist style is that it seems to be more organically shifted…
Curatorial Review of Dr. Jasmine Pradissitto in Our Home, Natural World
Aetherkind (2025), at first glance, is set against the static Bolton Watt Engine while the installation itself is suspended, flowing down. The Bolton Watt Engine is one of the iconic engines that powered the Industrial Revolution, and it contrasts highly with the installation of plant prints and collages. Therefore, this has pitted industrialisation against ecology.…
Curatorial Review of Eliana Ruby I Davis in Our Home, Natural World
The Swans (2024) seems, at first glance of the photograph, a peaceful and happy moment with two figures holding children on the shore watching a group of two swans swimming by. The swans seem to be drifting towards them, yet one can see the solitude disrupted when one looks above them and further out into…
Curatorial Review of Adam Wilson in Our Home, Natural World
Water (2007) is a vibrant macro photograph of a water droplet. The leaf’s colours and structure in the background make it as though the water droplet is perhaps a microorganism. The water droplet would usually just be something that a viewer would simply ignore or think is mundane; however, turning it into the focal point…
