An article by Lee Sharrock. "This unsettling question sits at the heart of Invasive Species, a compelling new multidisciplinary exhibition opening at Hypha Studios in London. Curated by Danielle Mezh, the exhibition brings together 15 women artists whose works explore the porous boundaries between the internal and external, the psychological and material, the familiar and the uncanny."

INVASIVE SPECIES, presented at Hypha Studios, Gallery 1 at No. 1 Poultry, brings together fifteen emerging and mid-career women artists exploring how invasion and intrusion shape the relationship between inner and outer worlds. Through painting, sculpture, moving image, sound, scent-based installation, and gastronomy, the exhibition examines states of dissonance, erosion, and transformation. Accompanied by live events and performances by DANCÆ, it draws on surrealism, mysticism, and the natural

This curatorial project engages Walter Benjamin’s idea of historical fragments as remnants of both loss and possibility. It brings together Maya Silverberg and Flo Bracey in a dialogue between material memory and contemporary residue. Silverberg transforms traces of trade and craft through painting, collage and sculpture, while Bracey builds unstable floor-based landscapes from found debris.

A landscape where art forms become autonomous, altering it beyond recognition. Alluding to J.G. Ballard’s story collection of the same title, ‘Vermillion Sands’ visually attests to ‘myths of the near future.’ Sculptures embody fictitious relics or biomorphic structures, paintings lucid, tactile premonitions. Bound by an elusive grasp of time and place, artists’ practices wander the sprawling terrain between the retrospective and supermodern, the organic and human-made.

I took part in the Artist-as-Curator traineeship at Shimmer, a curatorial studio led by Eloise Sweetman and Jason Hendrik Hansma in the Port of Rotterdam. During my time there, I engaged with the dual position of artist and curator, contributing to exhibition organisation, supporting research and production processes, and participating in exchange with artists and curators. The programme also informed the development of my own curatorial project in the Netherlands, which will be realised soon.

Full Disclosure is a timely and fearless inquiry into the emotional, political, and psychological dimensions of being seen.
