As part of our collaboration with property developer AshbyCapital and The Bomb Factory, this unique residency has been offered to multimedia artist and musician Jack Laver, who moved into the space in July 2023 to create a new body of work, which will be shown to the public at the exhibition. Visitors are welcome to visit the studio ahead of the exhibition opening to see the process of creation and meet the artist.

About Jack Laver

Laver primarily experiments with ink, adhesive and resin, investigating dependency and dissonance through the material passage. Networks of bleeding lines cling together in positions of intricacy.

“UNCONSCIOUS” by Georges Kachaamy

This 5.7 meter artwork is a powerful piece based on the micro and macro phenomena found in nature that have been created using a fusion of automatism techniques and meditation practices.

With no limits, labels, or boundaries, this artwork reflects the dynamic interplay between the micro and macro phenomena found in nature. It is a compilation of over 100 pieces, each of which is created using a fusion of automatism techniques and meditation practices that enable the artist to be in a trance state and allow their unconscious mind to guide the creative process.

The artwork was presented for the first time at Biennale Venezia in 2019.

'Cloud House Wendy House' by Peter Morris

The Cloud House Wendy House was selected by the KCAW Art Committee 2023 edition from over 100 submissions to join the 6th edition of KCAW Art Trail. It is a scale model of The Cloud House, by Peter Morris, simplified and reconfigured as an open-frame Wendy House and public sculpture, created especially for KCAW Art Trail 2023.

About Dominika Karc

Local artist and a self-proclaimed City Decorator Karc gained knowledge from “How to Behave When Bear Attacks You” survival guide in the city jungle of Manhattan’s Cocktail parties. After moving to London in the middle of the pandemic, she started decorating the city with abstract graffiti compositions, increasing at the same time the rare female representation in the graffiti world.
