A scene from Courcheval, France from the series ‘The New Wilderness’. This series attests the insignificance and vulnerability against the power of the natural world.

Tessa Shaw | Sun Smitten Grass

Sun Smitten Grass, 2015 Original cyanotype White was box frame Unique piece Signed and titled by artist on verso 164 x 133 cm ÂŁ5,500 framed

Tessa’s ethereal and atmospheric artworks, created using the early photographic technique of cyanotype, arise from a desire to preserve that which cannot be saved: the feeling of sun on your face, of leaves crackling underfoot, and of cold wind on bare arms. Shaw uses earth, rain, sunshine, leaves, grasses, petals, flowers, seeds, hair, and bodies, then works with them to preserve and produce a memory and a new energy.

Justine Smith | The Whittington Map

The Whittington Map, 2015 Archival inkjet print, hand gilded with 23.5 carat gold leaf Framed in a Mahogany stained frame Edition of 30 Signed and editioned by artist 74 x 142 cm ÂŁ2,500 unframed, ÂŁ2,995 framed

Through her collages, prints and sculptures, Smith examines our relationship to currency and coinage while also exploiting the physical beauty of the notes. By re-working an 1809 map of London by Edward Mogg, Smith has gilded the roads in the City of London with gold leaf, literally paving the streets of the banking area with gold. The idea of people drawn to a metropolis to 'seek their fortune' is a universal one and never more prevalent than now in an age of global migration.

Heidi Whitman | Lost in Translation

Lost in Translation, 2015 Ink, gouache, acrylic, paper and cast shadows Box frame Unique piece Signed by the artist on verso 85 x 119.5 x 5 cm £5,520 Heidi Whitman’s paper constructions resemble city grids, ancient ruins and floor plans, but they also act as metaphors for the complicated processes of the mind. Unpredictable curls and twists of paper, switchbacks and meanderings all form part of this intuitive terrain, while the changing shadows cast by the cut paper hint at the unknowable and transitory nature of human consciousness.
