  • In The Diary // Molly Astley: Touching Space Solo Exhibition at @onca_arts⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 27th – 29th Sep ⁠⠀ 16:00⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ‘Touching Space’ is @mollyastley 's first solo show, collating drawings, paintings, prints and photographs created over the past three years. The show will also feature an audio-visual collaboration with video artist Annie Elliot.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Deeply inspired by time spent living off-grid in Andalusian mountains between 2016-2017, the work documents her search and discovery of space, inner and outer, within the experience of chronic pain.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ‘Touching Space’ celebrates a journey towards reconnection, expansion, self-compassion and wonder, yet the dissonance experienced on returning home and back into the education system also shadows the work.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The verb ‘touch’ refers to the tangibly dense complexity and interconnectivity of the internal and external realms and rhythms, and to the role of sensory, somatic awareness in the healing of personal and collective disconnection.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ABOUT THE ARTIST⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Molly, born in London in 1993, is an artist, writer and musician who explores the reciprocity between inner and outer nature, the limits of self-making, and the wonder of the non-human world. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Questions of autonomy, the human/nature separation, and the relationship between personal health and ecological health are all central to her practise.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Molly studied English literature at Sussex University, writing her dissertation on experimental writing and intersubjectivity, and is currently enrolled with the Tamalpa Institute. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Imagination, sensory experience and automatic drawing play a large role in Molly’s process, as she explores art as a connective, healing modality, and, more mysteriously, a way to observe consciousness spontaneously unfolding.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #ONCA #oncagallery #oncagalleryBrighton #fromtheheartofbrighton #brightonart #brightonartists #brightongallery #brightonart #brightonandhove #brightonartist #brighton⠀⁣⠀⁠⠀ #artlovers #artlife #artoninstagram #art #artist⠀⁠⠀ #contemporaryart #brightonevents #artclass #artworkshop #brightonworkshop #brightonartclass #visitbrighton #whatsonbrighton⁠ #mollyastley #mollyastleyart #mollyastleyartist
  • Only 2 days left until our Thursday Surgery on 'planning' with us, @soldesign_col⁠ ⁠ Thurs 19th September ⁠ (7pm - 9pm)⁠ £15 pp⁠ At @platf9rm⁠ Link in bio⁠ ⁠ Every journey has a beginning, a middle and an end!⁠ ⁠ All businesses benefit from a little bit of structure against which ideas, jobs or projects can progress.⁠ ⁠ Without a broad plan your ideas can be like a boat adrift on the ocean, and time can speed by without you having helped it happen.⁠ ⁠ Do you ever experience a sense of panic or anxiety around your looming deadlines? Do you feel you procrastinate or is your creative think time truly productive?⁠ ⁠ We are a fan of a plan! Not the sort that is completely rigid, or inflexible, but definitely one against which we can monitor positive steps and assess and analyse lessons learnt.⁠ ⁠ This Thursday Surgery is designed to help you consider some simple techniques in improving your effectiveness and efficiency in making things happen in a proactive rather than reactive way. We provide an opportunity to share and discuss what works and what you struggle with. We provide some top tips and recommendations that can help you focus and prioritise your to do list so that you can genuinely make your ideas a reality.⁠ ⁠ --⁠ ⁠ Our Thursday Surgeries are an opportunity to bring your issues to the table for discussion and if we can’t help we will connect you with someone who can.⁠ ⁠ We invite you to a relaxed and informal environment at Platf9rm in central Brighton, where we can gather to talk and share experiences around a creative topic.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #fromtheheartofbrighton #SolDesign #SolDesignCollective #brightonart #brightonartists #brightonandhove #whatsonbrigton #visitbrighton #brightonartist #artlovers #artlife #artoninstagram #art #artist #contemporaryart #brightonevents #makersgonnamake #makers #handmade #shophandmade #workshops ⁣#artinspiration #creativetraining #creativementoring #creativebusiness #Sol_DesignCollective⁠ #Platf9rm #Platf9rmBrighton⁠ #networking #community⁠

  • Gallery in Focus // DOWSE⁠⠀ @dowsedesign⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ DOWSE is the design company of Susannah Dowse. Offering a commitment to making carefully designed, thoughtfully made jewellery and lifestyle products and always made with care and consideration. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Believing that beauty in an object comes in part from how it is made and by whom, DOWSE never send their designs to a faceless factory in a far flung place where they can't be sure someone isn't being exploited for their benefit. They collaborate with people they know who are fairly paid for their work.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Their Brighton shop is a showcase for the DOWSE range alongside other wonderful independent small businesses & designers. Championing great quality, innovative and affordable design led gifts, jewellery, art prints and homewares. They support and promote the efforts of those designing and making their work themselves, not the big companies who copy their ideas and mass manufacture them in the far east. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ DESIGNER SUBMISSIONS:⁠⠀ DOWSE are always interested in seeing the work of designers who feel their work fits their ethos and aesthetic. Feel free to contact them at hello@dowsedesign.co.uk with examples of your work and your wholesale information⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #DOWSE #dowsedesign #dowsedesignshop #dowsedesignBrighton #dowsedesignGallery #dowsedesignGalleryBrighton #fromtheheartofbrighton #brightonartist #brightonartists #galleryinfocus #artgallery #brighton #brightonartist #brightongallery #brightonlanes #northlanes #northlanesbrighton #art #makersgonnamake #emergingartist #contemporaryart #nonprofitart #BrightonLaines #BrightonLanes #NorthLaines #NorthLainesBrighton #BrightonNorthLaines #Hove #HoveGallery #HoveArtGallery⁠⠀⁠⠀⁠⠀
