Launch event: Tuesday 1 April 2025, 4 – 7.30pm

Artist Andy Singleton explores our human connection to nature through a series of large-scale paper installations, sculptures, graphic works and artworks co-created with members of the Redbridge community. Taking inspiration from Redbridge’s buildings, the exhibition weaves architectural forms around the human nervous and vascular system, representing how we feel and connect to each other, the bodies we share, and the spaces we inhabit.

Over the course of 8 workshops, under Andy’s expert guidance, Redbridge residents learnt various techniques to create 2D and 3D paper artworks. Elements of these artworks serve as entry points to the exhibition’s central installation, which depicts the internal human body as the unifying vessel of our existence.  Ultimately, we are all the same, and inhabit the same internal worlds.
