White Crypt is pleased to invite you to the opening of Daughters of Hecate, a group show curated by Lucy Stein, 
in collaboration with Anaïs Lerendu and Adam Thomas. 
The show will open from 4-9pm on Monday 6th May Bank Holiday and will host performances and DJ set.


'Daughters of Hecate brings together six artists who work in London and west Cornwall, or both places.

It is my ambition to derail the Michael and Mary Ley Lines, which converge via my studio in Newlyn, and get 

them to rejoin at the Crypt under St Marks. London is a deeply pagan place that could slough off its concrete 

cladding at any moment with a rupture of it’s capricious will. What these artists have in common is working from 

positions of passion, obsession with mortality, addiction to viscera, to loud music and recognition that to emerge 

psychically alive from the tomb of surveillance-capitalism, you have to venture darkly into the underbelly of deep 

information and court real pain.’

Boy Room, 2017, Installation























BOY ROOM, 2017, Installation

When you have been growing up as an adolescent in a dysfunctional home, in which, no one understands your feelings and emotions.  When you have never been free to speak or share your opinions about life. At that moment everything is falling into pieces. Pieces out of which you can make urgent responses.   
Through fearful or traumatic times you cannot make anything. Other people’s powers dominate and control you. However there becomes that moment where you begin to feel that amazing journey begins inside you my dear Love.

I will start to open all spaces for you to make a body of work that can exist in your ideas of how home can be.

When I start to make work I start to use home-style magazines to respond to with the feelings that I felt as a boy. I begin with the desire to create the home I always wanted, where I could express my feelings.

This site-specific work, reflecting a time of melancholia is inspired by Picasso’s blue period, Yves Klein’s international Klein blue paintings and the colour of the ocean beyond the window.

I try to give a sense of the boy becoming free within an interior space. I use painting and collage to urgently respond to what I already know.

Drawing VI

    This project shows six large scale drawings on Fabriano paper. I started first drawing with pencil and continued unconsciously making the drawing and then followed my inner senses and feelings. I let my hand move without thinking too much which kind of helps information that was coming from my body and soul or around me. What is happening at that time and moment. Sometimes rough, harsh, bold, dense, sassy lines, and  sometimes soft, slender, delicate, fragile lines, feelings. Emotions were ejaculating out. 
     Second drawing, I use thin, and thick brushes, and water based black ink, and acrylic paint. When I was using brushes generally I made it with same method, but I shifted a little bit during the process of making. I began to think what was happen since childhood to present. It started playing against to each other past, present, future. 
     Third drawing, was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's - Psycho film, and specifically the shower scene. I played with that scene, and the image disappeared, and what is left over. 
     Fourth drawing, with brushes again with acrylic I photocopied best scenes from film noir, and transfer printed them on the top of drawings. I looked at it from distance. I saw a big giant man appear in the middle of drawing with all these best images around him. 
     Fifth drawing, I introduce some colour. Still from memory, and small anecdotes from personal stories. Although I did not really want to control to much this drawing as well, just what was happening or what was coming out when I was drawing some of the narratives they were linking with other narratives, and they produce another new narratives. 
     Six drawing, I centred and painted the self - (my childhood primary school time with uniform) surrounding him with all actions, situations and texts.
