Hilary is a member of The Printmakers Council and The East London Print Studio. Most of the prints on display are one-off monoprints which are multilayered images using materials such as lino, perspex and stencils to achieve the required layering and painterly depth.

Hilary’s work is in many public and private collections worldwide including the Victoria and Albert Museum and The Museum of London; The Zeiss Collection in Hamburg, Germany; and The L.V Prasad Eye Hospital in Hyderabad, India. She works in several mediums including acrylics, watercolours, printing and embroidery. This current exhibition includes includes new acrylic paintings and monoprints based on riverscapes in Bath and Oxford, worked up from watercolours and sketches made in-situ.

Other themes illustrated at the Lauderdale House Exhibition include sumptuous still lives, the Beauty of Nature, steamy jazz clubs and images of isolation with solitary figures viewing the outside world from mysterious interiors.

During the lockdown months, Hilary researched Greek Myths and was inspired by Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine who was taught his art by snakes. He is remembered to this day by the use of the serpent in the badges and arms of medical associations around the world. There is also on display a painting depicting the Three Greek Fates: Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos who respectively spun, measured and finally cut the Thread of Life. A particularly appropriate concept during the Pandemic.

LEARNING
by Francesca Rose

A brand-new play with an original score and captivating movement, LEARNING unravels the poignant journey of Debs and Jonathan—a couple hurtling in opposite directions.

As Jonathan embraces the Jewish faith he’s spent a lifetime evading, Debs, disaffected by years of trying to live up to religious imperatives, yearns to break free. With moments of raw conflict and fleeting calm, they wrestle with the past, grapple with the present, and question whether their love can weather the divide.

LEARNING offers a heartfelt and thought-provoking exploration of identity, belief, and what it means to truly connect with others and with ourselves.

This current exhibition includes includes new acrylic paintings and monoprints based on riverscapes in Bath and Oxford, worked up from watercolours and sketches made in-situ.

Other themes illustrated at the Lauderdale House Exhibition include sumptuous still lives, the Beauty of Nature, steamy jazz clubs and images of isolation with solitary figures viewing the outside world from mysterious interiors.

During the lockdown months, Hilary researched Greek Myths and was inspired by Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine who was taught his art by snakes. He is remembered to this day by the use of the serpent in the badges and arms of medical associations around the world. There is also on display a painting depicting the Three Greek Fates: Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos who respectively spun, measured and finally cut the Thread of Life. A particularly appropriate concept during the Pandemic.

This exciting and eclectic exhibition at Lauderdale House is open daily from 6 February to 3 March 2025 [12-4 except 11-3 Wednesdays]

Waterlow Park Geotrail @ Lauderdale House
Feb 22 @ 12:00 pm – 12:45 pm

In partnership with the London Geodiversity Partnership, we are delighted to offer a free Waterlow Park Geotrail as part of our Heritage Weekend. Join us as we learn how the geology of Waterlow Park relates to its layout and local development from the London Geodiversity Partnership.

The Geotrail will be led by Diana Clements. Diana has lived in Islington for many years and brought her children to Waterlow Park when they were young where they enjoyed rolling around in the mud produced from the springs on the slope. In 1995, she curated a temporary exhibition for the Islington Museum, then in Upper Street: Beneath Our Feet: the Geology of Islington. Since 1990 she has worked in the Natural History Museum and in 2010 compiled a Geologists’ Association Guide to the Geology of London (revised 2023). She has been able to continue her passion for the geology of London by becoming an active member of the London Geodiversity Partnership.

The tour will begin promptly at 12pm. Please meet at the front desk in the Entrance Hall from 11.45am (enter via the East Entrance directly off Highgate Hill). The walks will last approximately 45 minutes, so wrap up warm and prepare for winter weather.

For those unfamiliar with the Park, there are some steep slopes – please get in touch via email or by ringing 020 8348 8716 with any questions relating to accessibility.

Building on the Past @ Lauderdale House
Feb 22 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

This talk will focus on recent projects ranging from Highgate Library, Chester Road which has now been completed, Highgate Cemetery which is underway and Hall for All, Acland Burghley which is in development.

The talk will look at how heritage sustainability and long-term futures can be ensured through:

  • the social impact of historical community buildings and spaces
  • environmental improvements (within the architecture and environment).

Highgate Library has just undergone major refurbishment after numerous threats to closure.

The talk will look at the highly unusual, and successful, partnership between Council and volunteers; the volunteers having played a key role in keeping the library open when it was threatened previously. More recently, it looked as if the library may have to close due to the state of the building but the partnership between local councillors Anna Wright, Camron Aref-Adib and Lorna Jane Russell, Camden Council Officers and the Friends of Highgate Library have saved it.

Acland Burghley’s Hall for All campaign also follows a story of transformation. Built in the Brutalist style of the 1960s, the hall not only serves as an exam and assembly room for pupils, but a stage for the OAE (Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment), an exhibition space, and soon to be Museum of Brutalist Architecture. Transforming the Hall is due to be completed in 2026.

The details include:

Restoring the heritage interior and sound cladding back to the original design to create world-class acoustics.
Creating an environmental solution for heating and ventilation.

Designing flexible staging and seating in the 679 sq metres of space that will accommodate all kinds of groups including performance, arts and sports.

Including disabled access and toilets to ensure all members of the community can participate, both as audience members and performers.
Allowing for up-to-date lighting and sound systems to facilitate state-of-the-art performances.
Renovating the amphitheatre to provide an outdoor space for events.

Meanwhile, the UK’s first Museum of Brutalist Architecture will be part physical/part digital and will support heritage outreach work in the wider community. An outdoor performance space will also be created and the school’s amphitheatre, made from stones from the original Victorian school on the Burghley Road site, will be renovated. Since launching their fundraising bid, the school has been inviting back alumni to take part in a range of arts-focused activities, including creating 60 headshots for the 60 years the school has been open. Community is at the heart of this rebuild, and have been consulted at every stage to really make this into a Hall for All.

Highgate Cemetery forms the third part of this talk. With plans to undergo major redevelopments such as installing a gallery space, education workshop and new office for staff, the Cemetery is looking forward to integrating its hyperlocal communities. Though a world-renowned tourist spot, the cemetery has offered a place for communities to connect for decades. Now it is about looking at how it can support local communities to grow and develop and connect with the site. By providing a gallery space and room for educational workshops, opportunity is opened up for local schools and artists to connect with local spaces and develop new relationships.
