All works are for sale between £200-500 with 20% of every sale going to St Mungo's to help the homeless and to foster an environment in which people can overcome their isolation and rebuild their lives.

Rosalind Davis presents Trace Elements | 1971 for Thorp Stavri's The Factory Project
Artists: Hermione Allsopp, Fabio Almeida, Sasha Bowles, Rosalind Davis & Justin Hibbs, Richard Perry, Lex Shute, Lisa Traxler, Andrea V Wright.
The Factory Project, conceived by Thorp Stavri, is an independent museum-scale exhibition intended to complement and complete London's Frieze week. Transforming an old Tate & Lyle Factory in the Thameside Industrial Estate, The Factory Project plays host to 10 UK based independent curators and curatorial platforms showcasing work from over 80 emerging to mid-career artists in a monumental ‘festival of curation’.
Trace Elements | 1971 is a title that references this incredible building’s links back to the industrial era whilst also acknowledging the cumulative impact of subsequent phases of its history. Themes that bring these artists’ practices together are transformation and experience. Their works respond directly to buildings or contexts, scraping back layers of history, materiality or indeed reality, to create new or alternate spaces, objects and environments.

21 grams was the disputed weight of a persons soul as measured in Duncan MacDougal’s 1901 experiments on people before and after death.
Does artwork have soul?
In (Matters of the Soul) is a celebration of material artwork, of artwork that has its own hybrid identity and that has its own soulful body.
Certain work defies classification, playing with it own materiality and the illusion of what it seems to be. Other work plays with the legacy of the previous life represented in its material and the soulful spirit that could lie within.
There is also something of an ‘incorporeal essence’ that resides In (Matters of the Soul) put there by the artists hand.

Octavia Butler’s dystopian novel, ‘Parable of the Sower’, opens in 2024, when capitalism, wealth inequalities, repressive regimes and climate disintegration have led to a rapid and violent breakdown of society. The novel’s protagonist, 15 year old Lauren Oya Olamina, creates a new belief system, 'Earthseed', where the only lasting truth is change and where all the seeds of life may be transplanted and adapted to new situations and locations, ultimately, beyond Earth.
We are all entangled - humans, animals, plants, fungi, earth, water, fire, air – yet it seems that the human condition is to wait for tipping points, transformative catastrophes to precipitate urgent change and then, only as a means of return to an illusionary status quo.
Our artists explore a new awareness of change and exchange, a constant shifting of strange identities, the malleability of being, interspecies communication and the strength and vulnerability of community. We are imagining new ways to merge; ways to intelligently and sensually live in the flux of a perpetual tipping point.

The Tipping Point – Magical or Malevolent?
The tipping point can arrive seemingly out of the blue. It does not have to be the result of a spectacular event but is perhaps a slight change in the equilibrium that marks a new inclination, a new way forward. Or more dramatically it can literally be the last straw, a small but significant change leading to an irreversible future. This exhibition examines different kinds of tipping points, both minor and major, all leading to some kind of transformation. Themes explored include human behaviour, climate, metamorphoses and defining moments. The boundaries may be blurred and hard to recognise or individual and diverse. This multi-disciplinary approach will investigate different ideas of what is a tipping point and whether it is always bad.
