In Fragments, Hannah Palmer and Ekaterina Kuzminova explore the shifting relationship between image, material and memory through photography and ceramics, investigating how fleeting moments can be reassembled into new visual narratives. Hannah’s assembled photographic groupings and Ekaterina’s movement between image and ceramic form reflect shared interests in structure, observation and the transformation of experience into visual language.
Together, their works examine how fragments — of place, memory and form — create layered and evolving narratives.
Hannah Palmer has spent years with a film camera in her pocket, embracing the analogue process and the gamble of the unexpected which that can entail. Documenting the shapes, forms and figures she encounters she looks for the beauty in the everyday; a beguiling juxtaposition or enigmatic composition.
Her main body of work in this exhibition sees a departure from her previous shows, not in form or image but in presentation. Drawing inspiration from her love of collage, the colour theories of the Neo-Impressionist movement and Surrealist composition she begun by curating her work into small groups based on mood, colour, line or subject; creating imagery in which each individual image speaks for itself yet also, by complimenting or contrasting with its companions, offers an alternative narrative to the viewer. These small groups have been arranged into a larger body of works giving the viewer the opportunity to create their own unexpected associations whilst pursuing the artist’s narrative within the grid.
Ekaterina Kuzminova presents a body of work developed from a journey to the Altai region of southern Russia, where observation, memory and material translation converge. Moving between photography and ceramics, she explores the idea of fragments — moments and impressions that remain after an experience has passed. The photographs are not intended as reportage but as partial recollections: quiet details, textures and encounters that have shifted over time into personal memory.
Alongside the images, ceramic works extend this process into physical form. Shapes and surfaces echo landscapes and emotional impressions rather than literal representation, translating fleeting visual moments into tactile objects. Together, the works create a dialogue between image and material, presence and absence, clarity and abstraction.
Kate began her photographic practice over two decades ago and worked as a photojournalist following early encouragement from her mentor, documentary photographer Vladimir Dubrovsky. Fragments marks the first exhibition in which she presents her photographic and ceramic practices together, revealing an ongoing exploration of memory as both visual and material experience.
