Why Shapeshifters?
The only constant is change. We can resist it, or embrace it—stepping into new ground with curiosity and courage.
This inaugural exhibition celebrates transformation as shapeshifting, tracing our personal shifts from scholar, designer, scientist, fashion maker, or financier to something more revealing—the Artist.
We hope, when you visit, that you encounter work that reflects your own turning points - those moments when confidence and experience, rather than certainty, carried you forward.
with love, The Shapeshifters

Preview of works:
'The Past is All Ahead of You'
My own shift was from academic philosophy, to the creative studio.
And I shifted to try a new way of moving, meditating, feeling.
This has opened up a channel for making sense of a world that grows harder to understand,
despite the accumulation of more and more experience and knowledge.
Strangely, I have found great comfort in going back, repeatedly, to the past.
To versions of once real things.
And to places that only memory can still make whole.
