Amanda’s first show with Eve Bracewell, Olivia Arnold and Scott Elk, exploring moments in time through print, drawing, sculpture, ceramics and painting.

Exhibiting together for the first time, artists Amanda Mahony, Eve Bracewell, Olivia Arnold and Scott Elk have responded to the theme of moments in time, sharing their thoughts, stories and ideas. Putting the show together has revealed the artists behind the work, and their personalities shine through their compelling collection of printmaking, drawing, sculpture, ceramics and painting.

Through meditative engagement with process and observation of the natural world, the artists seek a disconnection from the speed of everyday life.

Their artwork is forged in a pause: stepping away from the rhythm of notifications and schedules. This practice regulates their own internal pulse, allowing them to capture moments that feel truly present. They invite you to stay in this quiet space.
