Waste Not Want Not
Our speakers will
address the ‘waste hierarchy’ – how we can reduce, reuse
and recycle more waste, and the meeting is open to all.
We’ll hear from Carina Millstone who is Executive
Director of Feedback, a charity that campaigns to
transform our food systems, cutting the impact on our
planet, particularly from waste. Leigh McAlea will
discuss the impact of fast fashion – she is Head of
Communications at TRAID, a charity which aims to
“stop clothes from being thrown away.” We’ll also find
out what councils can do to tackle plastic waste from Ian
Kershaw of Haringey Council.
Addressing waste disposal – at the end of the waste
hierarchy – will be Ursula Taylor, Head of Legal and
Governance at North London Waste Authority. Ursula
will discuss what happens to our waste – many of us will
have been horrified to see images of piles of British
‘recycling’ strewn across the shores of South East Asia.
Our speakers will address what we can do as individuals
to reduce waste and discuss the sorts of policies that we
should be demanding from local and national politicians.
Following the talks there will be a Q & A session.

In this group show, Samantha Laub, Jason Sweidan and David Taylor present vibrant abstract paintings, influenced by abstract expressionism. The paintings demonstrate distinctive emotional responses to the natural.
Samantha, Jason and David have been developing a set of unique styles in close interaction with each other – all with strong colour use. The theme of present and remembered emotion displays their distinctive styles whilst drawing on a common theme.
Samantha’s works begin as spontaneous outpouring of energy and emotion that she then develops and refines into finished pieces. Her paintings are visceral, full of movement and texture.
Jason applies oil on canvases to construct and deconstruct images that reflect elements of nature. His paintings are predominantly fluid, physical and textured using gravity to allow the paint to evolve.
David’s work reflects memories of the natural in which strong colour use is combined with loose natural references that evoke a sense of fluidity, water or landscape.
All three artists are local to the exhibition and originally met at the Hampstead School of Art (HSOA).
Samantha is Creative Director of Gorgeous Brewery based in Highgate and also works in advertising, as well as being a painter. She has exhibited at a number of HSOA exhibitions and was also shortlisted in the National Open Art exhibition in 2016.
Jason works in investor relations as well as being an artist. He recently held his first solo art exhibition and has exhibited at several HSOA summer exhibitions and the Green and Stone summer exhibition 2019. His work is held in private collections in the UK, USA, Spain and Bermuda.
David is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and Professor Emeritus at the University of Brighton. He is a leading academic social theorist and writer as well as a painter and sociologist of art.
Exhibition continues until 21 November

Helen Lawrence will speak about her new ground-breaking book, THE SAVING OF HAMPSTEAD HEATH: A Story of People Power, which gives us a new perspective on the campaigns to save Hampstead Heath. It makes clear that the need for vigilance to protect the Heath did not end with the “saving” of its core area in the 1870s, but continued until well into the later 20th century and is still essential. Copies of the book will be available for purchase. Helen has been Chairman of the Heath and Hampstead Society, a Trustee of the London Forum and a Trustee of Civic Voice.
Entry to the meeting is £5 (plus 98p booking fee), booked through Eventbrite (click here.)

Printmakers Council: TIME
The Printmakers Council invites you to find the time to join them in exploring the concept of Time in both traditional and innovative forms printmaking. Determined historically by the rising and the setting of the sun, our modern lifestyles push against the natural rhythms of rest and labour and our now 24-hour economy urges consumer purchasing of smart watches. It’s not just telling the time but scheduling what to do with it. Meanwhile astrophysical research challenges our understanding of time itself. The Printmakers explore our complex relationship with time, a fascinating and engrossing subject for us all.
All work is for sale.
Events:
15 minute talks Sunday 9th February 2-3pm.
Create a print in a 10 minutes. Workshop on Sunday 16th February 2-4pm.
Founded in 1965 by artists including Julian Trevelyan, Michael Rothenstein, Anthony Gross and Agatha Sorel, the Printmakers Council promotes the place of printmaking in the visual arts by:
- Providing information on prints and printmaking to its 250 members and the public
• Encouraging co-operation and exchanges between artists, galleries and printmaking studios and associations
• Holding regular exhibitions of original prints in the UK and abroad

Exhibition continues until 20 February.

ORGANIC ORIGINS. Photographic Artworks by Keith Hammond
Artist and photographer Keith Hammond’s first solo exhibition at the Highgate Gallery in London takes a radical departure to nature photography.
Entitled Organic Origins, the exhibition showcases 14 of Hammond’s landscape works. Mostly taken in north London’s open spaces, including Hampstead Heath and Waterlow Park close to the gallery, each has a different theme, from Japanese Maple (2014) to Water Iris Shoots (2015), Frost on Leaf and Grass (2015) and Arching Beech (2016).
In these large-scale works, Hammond’s intention is to explore the way we look at nature. Rather than use a single shot composed in the picturesque tradition, he takes a radical approach, using a grid system that investigates each landscape from multiple viewpoints. Hammond then incorporates these smaller images and details into each finished image, making works that are more than the sum of their parts, and which reward repeated viewing.
The artworks in Organic Origins also invite comparison with other artists such as Gilbert and George and David Hockney, whose workshops he has attended. Hammond’s use of “joiners” (the photographic term for smaller images that combine to compose a larger picture) itself questions the act of perception, inviting a re-evaluation of photographic truth and the single “decisive moment”. Instead, his artworks respond to the way the eye actually works in nature: sometimes near, sometimes far, always restless.
“We don’t look at a beautiful tree or a landscape for just a split second. We take our time, our eyes wander all over the scene, we take it all in; the leaves shake in the wind, the waters ripple, the clouds move, the light changes. Nothing is static.” Keith Hammond, 2019
Hammond also works on his images post-production. Several of the landscapes in Organic Origins have been digitally manipulated to bring out details that are unattainable within the normal colour spectrum. The intention is to gain a wider harmony in the image – and express a wider truth about the relationship between the viewer and the natural world.
“I want to connect with something essential about the natural world; something that is palpably already there if we just take the time to look.” Keith Hammond, 2019.
“I have had a passion for trees since I was a small girl. If you’re similarly attracted to their changing colours and shapes, please spend time at Keith Hammond’s exhibition at the Highgate Gallery. He is a remarkable photographer.” Dame Judi Dench, 2020.
The artworks are for sale. From a series of 50 images, the 14 limited-edition works in the exhibition range from 1-2.5m in size. Prices £1,000-£4,000.
