‘From This Land’ at THROWN and OmVed Gardens

Thrown and OmVed Gardens are proud to present ‘From This Land’, a specially curated group exhibition for the Chelsea Fringe. The exhibition brings together artists who draw inspiration from and for nature, whether in responding to the landscape around them, collecting natural materials to use within their work or creating vessels to bring nature into our homes.

Featuring emerging and established names, the show will focus primarily on ceramics alongside a collection of abstract landscape-inspired drawings by recent graduate Samantha Silverton and handmade textile flowers by Isabel Dodd. The exhibition will also include Zulieka Melluish’s botanical-pressed wall plates, Simon Kidd’s wheel-thrown and slip-cast porcelain ceramics incorporating the materials and tools that have created the landscape of his home in Northern Ireland and Andrea Roman’s installation of 100 experimental terracotta vessels.

The exhibition will feature ikebana arrangements in response to some of the works on display by Aya Tanaka, professional Japanese flower designer and Ikebana professor, who will also be leading a series of workshops throughout the week.

‘From This Land’ will span both Thrown’s gallery space on Highgate High Street and the converted greenhouse exhibition space of OmVed Gardens at 1 Townsend Yard.

Featuring: Alistair Blair, Tom Crew, Isabel Dodd, Adam Frew, Lise Herud Braten, Simon Kidd, Joseph Ludkin, Zuleika Melluish, Lisa Ommanney, Andrea Roman, Samantha Silverton and Alison West.
