Habitual States
Call-out to Artists:
This exhibition brings together the works of women artists unveiling personal connections with the land through creation and materiality.
Considering themes of identity and belonging, these works invite us to question our places of safety and to re-examine the landscapes we have formed connections with. Whether they are physical spaces, emotional terrains, or even dreamscapes, this exhibition aims to create a collective dialogue about how a place can shape us, and provide a sense of safety, escape and connection.
Seeking past and current works by Women artists, from range of disciplines including 2D, 3D and text/poetry etc. Some ideas below:
Works exploring personal connections to place, artists unearthing the self, seeking safety and healing in the land.
Works involving eco-conscious methods and concepts
Works using natural materials, or actively created on site- walking, swimming etc.
Works responding to the title “Habitual States”.

Curated by Livvy Eden
Curator Livvy Eden
Livvy Eden is a visual 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 recent 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.
