✨Showcasing Tess Chodan: Slow Movement at Art At Home, Twickenham ✨
We are absolutely delighted to shine a spotlight on Tess Chodan, a valued member of our Artists Appreciation Initiative, as she prepares to launch her stunning new collection this spring.
Tess will be presenting Slow Movement at ‘Art At Home’ — a beautiful gallery nestled within art curator Kath Wood MBE’s Georgian home in Twickenham — and we couldn’t be more excited to share this with you.
About the Exhibition:
Slow Movement is an immersive collection of jewelled artworks in which nature, memory and craftsmanship come together in the most extraordinary way. Tess is renowned for her distinctive and deeply considered practice, combining antique entomology, taxidermy elements and archival materials with contemporary image-making. The result is a series of intricate, one-of-a-kind pieces that transform preserved butterflies, beetles and birds into poetic compositions exploring themes of fragility, time and ecological awareness. Each work comes accompanied by a certificate of provenance.
In this new collection, iridescent insects and delicate natural forms appear to gently inhabit the gallery space, drawing visitors into a quieter, more contemplative rhythm. As Tess herself describes it: “This collection is about slowing down, noticing detail, or reconnecting with nature. Slow Movement is about creating moments of stillness and wonder.”
Visit the Exhibition
The collection will be on display across three weekends: 18–19 April, 25–26 April, and 2–3 May
A very special Sunday Salon with Tess is also planned for Sunday 3rd May — a wonderful opportunity to meet the artist and hear about her work first-hand. Please contact Tess or curator Kath Wood directly for booking details.
All works will be available to purchase, and a catalogue is available on request.
