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.

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.
