Exhibiting at Parallax Art Fair, London

I had been looking forward to presenting my work again in a physical space — somewhere it could be experienced beyond the screen, with its textures, details and material presence visible up close.

This time, it was at Chelsea Old Town Hall in London, as part of Parallax Art Fair and my second physical exhibition.

Seeing my work installed in this historic building was a very different experience. It gave me the opportunity to see the work in a new context, to observe how people responded to it, and to experience it as part of a shared exhibition space.

The Space:

Chelsea Old Town Hall provided a distinctive setting for the fair, with its historic interiors and large exhibition halls bringing together a wide range of artists and practices.

I presented one work at Parallax Art Fair. Seeing it within such a busy and diverse exhibition environment gave me a different perspective on how the piece communicates outside the studio.

Observing people—this was the most profound experience I took away.

Presenting a single work in a large and varied exhibition made me curious about how it would be received.

During the fair, visitors stopped to look closely, asked questions and offered their own interpretations. Some recognised familiar forms, while others responded to the complexity of the lines and textures.

These conversations became one of the most valuable parts of the experience. They reminded me that a work can create a connection even within a busy exhibition environment.

The experience also made me think about how I would like to present my work in the future - with more space and the opportunity to show several pieces together, allowing a broader dialogue between them.

And finally, came the realisation:

Yes, this matters.

Yes, I am on the right path.

But this is only the beginning.

Looking Ahead

Once again, one of the most valuable parts of the exhibition was meeting other artists and exchanging ideas about our work, experiences and different approaches to making art.

I left Parallax Art Fair with a clearer understanding of how I would like to present my work in the future. I want to create more space around the work, to show several pieces together and to allow the connections between them to become part of the exhibition itself.

This experience became another important step in understanding not only how I make my work, but also how I want it to be seen.
