Elida Maiques: A Playful River | Saturday 14 March – Saturday 2 May 2026 | Mermaid Arts Centre | Image: photo from above of a collection of things on what may be a white-marble surface; on the left is a round box, about the size of an orange, that appears to have the skin of an orange; it is open, and we see the inner texture of the box; its lid is nearby, on its edge; the head of a plant, dried, is sticking into the box; at the top of the photo is what may be a small bottle of dark ink – we only see a small part of the bottle; there are two stones towards the right, and possibly a larger bottle of dark ink
Opening Reception Saturday 14 March, 2 – 4pm

This interactive installation acts as Elida Maiques‘ temporary studio, where a durational drawing experiment invites participants join the artist in creating a monumental drawing using handmade inks, alongside the artist’s willow work and practice as seed librarian.

Maiques’ long standing drawing practice holds the centre of the space, with the title referring to the 30 metre scroll of paper which will keep changing for the duration of the exhibition, intervened with artist-made inks, drawn and painted in by visitors, workshop participants and the artist herself.

The exhibition will be punctuated by micro-performances on and off-site, as well as workshops, details to come.

Suitable for age 12+
