May 1st – 5th, 2025 (Private View: May 1st, 6pm)
The Corner Collective, Southsea, Hamsphire, United Kingdom.
Some works in creating art emerge quietly, stretched over long periods of time. Others, arrive like the wagon is on fire, skidding sideways around corners at 45mph, with the wheels, still-turning, scorched and crackling.
This exhibition was not planned to soothe.
It began in silence, folds itself in darkness, and demanded to be carried – through long, blistered hours into early dawn, through unfinished pages of writing, and with the weights of voices not yet spoken.
These pieces speak through mythology – yet not bound by it.
Athena, Hekate, Persephone, the Moirai, Medusa –
They are not muses.
They bring warnings.
They become mirrors.
They are fire.
I don’t ask the viewer to understand everything at once.
I only ask that you step forward.
Look.
See.
Let the embers warm you where it needs to.
This is not just an exhibition. It is a rising. A return.
A threshold.
The way is not waiting for us.
The way is us.

For Collectors and Returning Collectors
A quiet pre-reservation window is now open for returning collectors.
Only nine reduction lino editions of Athena made.
Each borne from a hand-carved large A1 lino block, burnished and pulled without a press – one by one, with care. Athena is hand printed on Awagami Kitakata 36gsm paper, a famously smooth, delicate yet strong paper. Measuring 66cm x 98cm.
The version of Athena currently shown in the behind-the-scenes film is partially complete.
Three of the nine is spoken for.
If you wish to view or reserve one ahead of the public release on May 1st, please email me directly. Or use the Contact Form below.
This is honouring those who have walked with the work from the beginning.
Your printmaker,
Nusye
