Seasons - a new exhibition

Such a lovely surprise for my gouache, Are We Still Dreaming, 2024, to be featured on the exhibition flyer.

I’m really excited to be part of SMALL WORKS collaboration with CUH Arts this Winter.

My first job out of uni was in communications and PR for a number of NHS trusts across the UK and I would get involved in promoting a lot of their wonderful initiatives. To be able to be involved from a different perspective is a wonderful honour and I look forward to seeing all the inspiring works together.

SEASONS is a group exhibition curated by SMALL WORKS CIC, inspired by the feelings, gestures and emotions

that the four cycles of the year evoke.

It is a privilege to know a place through the passage of time, and this exhibition looks to nature for a sense of

connection and grounding.

The poems and artworks were selected for display via a free open call. The call asked for submissions of work that

responded to the seasons through a cyclical journey of: awakened optimism (Spring), joyful warmth (Summer),

communal gathering (Autumn) and quiet resiliency (Winter).

This exhibition pairs with the launch of the newly refurbished Neurological Critical Care Unit (NCCU), featuring a

bespoke commission by Monica Perez Vega titled Cycles of Nature. The artwork has been created in response to

creative consultation with staff, patients and their loved ones facilitated by artist Hannah Jane Walker.

The gallery is located on the Ground Floor (L2). From the Main Entrance, follow signs to the K Wards. The gallery is

on the main corridor just past the Chapel. The hospital is a public building open all day, everyday.

All the artworks in this exhibition are available for sale. If you are interested in purchasing any of the works please

contact cuh.arts@nhs.net for more details. 25% of the proceeds go to CUH Arts to support our ongoing arts

programme in the hospital.

SMALL WORKS is a curatorial platform led by artists Monica Perez Vega and Sylwia Narbutt. Its ethos is - do what

you can, work with what you’ve got. With an emphasis on painting, we are interested in nature-led, curiosity-driven,

and materially-playful work. www.smallworksartgallery.com
