In Flux
by Aliyah Azam & Erin Lindsay
31st July–1st August 2026 12–6pm
Opening Eve: Friday 31st July 6–8pm
In Flux is an exploration of found marks, materials and forms, featuring the work of two contemporary artists Aliyah Azam and Erin Lindsay. The work has developed through collecting and manipulating source materials and images, abstracting from the original form and creating combinations which allow the meaning to fluctuate. The exhibition shows both solo and collaborative work, coming out of a period of shared making and dialogue.
The work on show ranges from moving image to oil paintings, brought together by textile pieces constructed through collective conversation and exploration between the artists. This period of making has been heavily process based, with Azam and Lindsay both using elements of their solo practice. Out of this has come a series of experimental textile pieces, expanding the boundaries of each artist's work going forward.
Aliyah Azam is an artist whose practice ranges from oil painting to weaving to moving image, using abstraction and processing as a form of queering. Her work shown in In Flux meditates on the nature of the image, using found media to uncover the way that we move around images and how they shape our reality. She is currently studying Fine Art at Chelsea College of Arts, due to graduate in 2028, and is based in London.

Erin Lindsay's works use a combination of oil, acrylic, and fabric mediums. Her practice often begins with photographic sources, which are obscured and reworked through both collage and layered paint, exploring how ordinary forms can be reinterpreted onto the canvas - allowing fleeting moments, emotion, and material forms to blur into one another, their identities becoming intertwined. Each painting evolves organically, with focus on following intuition, allowing ambiguous, often organic forms emerge and dissolve, resisting immediate recognition. The work explores states of emotional transition, drawing on ideas of self-exploration where meaning remains open and continually in flux. She currently studies Fine Art: Painting and Drawing at the University of Northampton, due to graduate with a BA (Hons) in 2027.
