In this interview, we spoke with Misha Nicholas, a visual artist whose mixed-media works challenge societal narratives and explore the intersection of ecofeminism, climate justice, and neurodivergent perspectives. Through her layered compositions and thought-provoking symbolism, Nicholas creates art that serves as a powerful means of dialogue, reflection, and social critique, drawing from her experiences as a neurodivergent African-American artist who has traveled the world working in humanitarian and environmental sectors. Her acclaimed works, including "The Road to Reflection" and "Pigeons who have the world," utilize photography and digital art to highlight overlooked subjects and marginalized voices, while her recent recognition through prestigious awards like the Premier Art Prize and the Harmony for Humanity: The Global Consciousness Art Prize underscores her growing impact in challenging the male gaze and advancing intersectionality in contemporary ecofeminism art. Nicholas's practice demonstrates how artistic expression can bridge the gap between feeling and thought, using nature as both subject and metaphor to awaken viewers to our collective responsibility toward planetary consciousness and social justice.

In this conversation, we speak with Caijing Kuang, an illustrator and printmaker whose deeply personal work transforms trauma into healing through the ancient medium of monotype. Driven by her grandmother's Alzheimer's diagnosis, Kuang has developed a distinctive visual language that captures the fragmented nature of memory itself—where "accidents" become revelations and emotional weight finds release through layered, textured narratives. Working primarily in shades of blue, Kuang employs what she calls "residual buildup," a technique that mirrors the accumulative nature of memory by repeatedly printing without fully cleaning her copper plates. This process creates haunting, layered surfaces that speak to both personal and generational trauma. Her work challenges the silence often surrounding emotional pain, particularly within her cultural background in Southwest China, where Buddhist and Daoist influences shape her understanding of cycles, impermanence, and healing.

In this interview, we talked with Xiaoyi Lin, an artist who transforms landscapes into living artworks through research-based mixed-media practice that bridges ancient traditions with contemporary environmental consciousness. Drawing from formative encounters with Dunhuang's layered murals and Gansu's wind-carved Danxia formations, she has developed a unique approach that invites rivers, light, and time itself to collaborate in her creative process. Working across textiles, photography, and drawing, Xiaoyi creates sustainable color systems using plant-based dyes and mineral pigments, while projects like "Between Scene and Seen" literally incorporate Thames water as both medium and co-author. Her work asks us to slow down and witness the subtle conversations between material and environment, revealing how art can model more thoughtful relationships with the natural world.

In this interview, we are pleased to introduce Yijia Wu, a multidisciplinary artist based in London and currently an artist in residence at the Sarabande Foundation. A graduate of Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art, Wu's work delves into the fluid concept of home and the experiences of migration, utilizing performance, sculpture, and installation.

Echoes- Group Exhibition

We are excited to invite you to a virtual exhibition featuring the artists' works from our September online residency program. Over six weeks, Kenny Ros, Rebecca Odessa, David Bickley and Francesca Busca explored the themes of water, alchemy, and the beauty and history of Madeira Island. Despite being from different backgrounds and working in a range of media, from sculpture, video, painting and photography, the artists found common ground in their fascination with nature's cycles and beauty.

Meet Bronwen Gwillim, an artist and environmental advocate whose work intimately explores the relationship between local materials and global ecological concerns. Drawing inspiration from her surroundings on the South Pembrokeshire coast in West Wales, Bronwen creates art that addresses the pressing issue of plastic pollution with both urgency and creativity. During her January residency, Bronwen delves into the complexities of waste plastic and its impact on marine environments, while also highlighting the beauty of the natural world. By combining personal experiences with thoughtful commentary on the environment, she invites us to reconsider our connections to place and the materials we use.

Meet Charlotte Mendel, an author, screenwriter, and environmental activist whose work explores the intersection of personal narrative and global crisis. Drawing from her experiences as a traveler, teacher, and parent, she crafts stories that confront the urgent issue of climate change with both anger and hope. During her January residency, Charlotte delves into the inequalities driving environmental destruction, particularly the disproportionate impact of the wealthiest on the planet. By weaving together personal reflections with broader societal critiques, Mendel compels us to examine our roles in the climate crisis and consider the collective action needed to safeguard the future for generations to come.

Meet James Keul, a painter, printmaker, and environmentalist whose work focuses on human resilience and the natural world. He uses classical painting techniques to dramatically convey the current issue of climate change. During his January residency, James delved into how advancements designed to simplify our lives have inadvertently eroded the communal fabric of society. By juxtaposing historical scenes of collective engagement—like bustling marketplaces and shared cinematic experiences—with the isolating effects of modern technology, Keul ask us to reflect on what we've gained and lost in the pursuit of convenience.

Meet Jodie Anna Posen, a mixed media artist who through weave, textile sculpture, print, and drawing, reclaims discarded everyday waste, transforming packaging plastics, papers, and foils into precious artworks that reveal the hidden value in what we typically discard. During Jodie's January residency, she delves into the destructive practices of heather moorland burning and peatland drainage in the UK, exposing how these actions—driven by economic interests—degrade the land and release critical carbon stores. Posen's art creates a powerful tension between natural and synthetic materials, celebrating often-overlooked ecosystems. Patchwork landscapes scarred by heather burning, vibrant sphagnum moss, feathers of the red grouse, and the stark orange of flamethrower gas canisters serve as visual inspiration, urging viewers to reconsider our relationship with the environment.
