Through deeply personal expressions and shared experiences, 'Nest' brings together artists exploring themes of health, recovery, and the challenge of articulating what is often left unspoken.
Rooted in her own experiences of navigating a long-term health condition and ongoing recovery, curator Livvy Eden considers art as a necessary form of care and explores how creative practice can aid journeys of illness, recovery, and transformation.
Nest presents a collection of photography, painting, sculpture, textiles, and photobooks, offering intimate reflections on vulnerability, resilience, and connection.
Selected Artists:
Giuliana Borrelli, Tasha Bradley, Emily Coghlan, Amy Green, Emily Hansell, Martha Hine, Sarah Hogan, Anya Medlin, Martina Misfud, Becka Anne Morris, Katerina Murysina, Alice Oliver, Ian Potter, Daniel Regan, Alice Rorrison, and Caitlin Isobel Winter.

Curated by Livvy Eden
Livvy Eden is a photographic artist based in Wiltshire. Her books and photographs mark an intuitive reflection of the places she inhabits and her understanding of 'home'. As she works through land and water, she looks inward, considering how places have continued to shape her and her familial relationships.
In recent works, Eden is navigating a benign brain tumour diagnosis, retracing her ongoing health issues and considering how it has intertwined with her approaches to image-making and consideration of self. Eden threads past and present, informing a search for truth, belonging and peace.
