She uses these mediums to create components which are combined into sculptural configurations. Her work is informed by histories of representation, from the artificiality of tools like Alberti’s window to the dominance of Euclidean geometry in contemporary game engines. Windows, portals, screens and membranes are recurrent motifs throughout her practice. Wilson uses methods of representation as a lens to explore object, animal and environmental agency.Amy J Wilson studied at the Slade School of Fine Art (MFA 2017-19), where she was awarded the Felix Slade Scholarship. She is currently a studio member at Turf Projects in Croydon. Recent exhibitions include group shows at the ICA, London (2024); Erratum Gallery, Berlin (2024); OHSH Projects, London (2025); Seager, London (2025); and Lewisham Arthouse, London (2026). In 2025 she was selected for A-N’s Artist Bursary and was artist-in-residence at Atelier La Juntana, Santander, Spain.Meitao Qu is a UK-based Chinese artist working across sculpture, installation and digital media. She is interested in the semantic surplus of models and miniatures, as surrogates of existing and imagined structures, which generate speculative narratives about the world at large that expand our normative fields of view. Taking urban landscapes, industrial infrastructure and domestic interiors as sites of inquiry, her practice explores how popular imaginations and dominant ideologies are inscribed through the material and architecture of everyday life.Meitao holds an MFA from the Ruskin School of Art, funded by the Oxford-Kaifeng Graduate Scholarship, and an MA from the Courtauld Institute. She is currently an East Gallery Fellow at Norwich University of the Arts and a recipient of the Gilbert Bayes Award, Royal Society of Sculptors. Recent and upcoming projects include: Urban Phenomenology, Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, Fukuoka (2024); It’s a small world (after all), Public Gallery, London (2024); Decadently Ordinary, Quench Gallery (2025), Immersed in Changing Landscapes, Norfolk & Norwich Festival (2025) and Interior Fictions, SET91, London (2026).ABOUT TURF:Turf Projects is Croydon’s homegrown, artist-led space, founded in 2013 by locals.Grounded in themes of place and belonging, Turf creates space and opportunities that nurture emerging and under-represented creative practices.
