‘The Weight of Things’ is an exhibition of new works by members of FOLD Art Collective. Borrowing the title from Marianne Fritz’s feminist novel, this show explores both physical and emotional weight, and questions personal and political burdens. The artists are curious about the physicality of made objects; pressure and gravity; abundance and scarcity; the solid and the fragile. Some things might float while others sink.

FOLD Art Collective is a group of women artists working across diverse media, who all developed their art practices following other careers and responsibilities. The collective meets in person monthly to critique and encourage one another’s work in progress.

Featured Artists: Abigail Elverd, Bernadette Enright, Carmen Van Huisstede, Cass Breen, Clare Nicholson, Eleanor Street, Jane Hughes, Jess Blandford, Katerine Rose, Marina Nasso-Beard and Nell Martin.

Layers of Being was the inaugural show of the art collective whilst it still had its former name (Second Shift). The works of the 9 artists involved, wove together stories, memories, secrets, objects, time and identities. The show included paintings, textiles, sculpture, video and print-making, exhibited in the forgotten space of a derelict Victorian terraced house in Peckham.
