The approach…
“Ryan and I invite you to step into a world that feels intrinsically us. We learnt very early on in our partnership that our ability to connect deepened whenever we stepped outside.

The approach, words of encouragement to keep going, orchids. The trust that comes with holding a rope, adn the simple act of moving together became a calmer way of loving one another.

Saturday evening- join us inside whilst we try to take you outside.”
- Chelsea

Registrations via 🔗 in bio | 4 July | 6-8pm
Through moving image, photography, rock, moss and floral sculpture, approach brings together the practices of @chelseaholden and @ryanjones.

Developed during their 2026 Cellmates Residency, the work emerges from a shared life spent outdoors. Walking, climbing, observing and returning to the natural environments that shape their daily experience. Rather than depicting the landscape as a distant subject, the exhibition considers how sustained attention can foster a deeper relationship with place.

Together, the works invite a slower way of looking; one grounded in curiosity, observation, and appreciation.

Also, just like
when you are a person
who has a body that changes
so often,
you know change
in this really
intimate way
like, you know change as gradual
you know change can be instant
it can be
reversed

And I think
it’s taken me
a long while
to feel this way
about that knowledge
But it’s actually
a real political gift

And I think
I’m just starting
to be fed
by that idea

These pieces belong
together.
When I started making,
I was really struck
by them
kind of, being like
these speculative
body parts,
like hip sockets
and joints and
like
hearts unravelled.
And, yeah,
I started
to see so much
of the body in
them and started
to think of them
as, kind of, belonging
to some animal
or version of myself.

But they’re a collection
of works called ‘Join
Me Here Where Things
Are Soft’
And I’ve
been playing around with
how they might melt,
how they might lead
to less
solid states.

And bones are
this really gorgeous thing.
Like I think
when they exit
the body,
we know them
as brittle and
as dead material.
But when they’re in
the body,
they’re so wet,
they’re so dense,
they have so
much relationship with blood,
and they grow.
And are shaped by
pressure,
like how we use
them
And so they start
to be shaped by
their life.

Prior to doing a
lot of like sculptural
work,
my work is mostly
with the body and
in movement
and performance and time.
and
I’ve been really fortunate
to meet clay.
And it’s
one of the most
generous mediums
I’ve ever met
because you
just spend time
with it and
you stay
in touch with it.
And it just….
starts
to give you so,
so much.
And here
they’re kind of leaving
the space
or attracted to,
yeah,
the edges of things.
yeah.
