What remains after a moment has passed?
Afterglow is a painting-led exhibition exploring presence, connection and the trace that fully felt experiences leave within us.
Each painting begins with sound. Immersing herself in music, spoken word or voice, Kate Mayer enters the emotional state she wants to paint from - translating rhythm, resonance and feeling into colour, gesture and form.
Created in collaboration with vocal artist Tor Njamo, poet Elle Dillon-Reams and London International Gospel Choir, Afterglow invites you to move beyond simply looking at art. It is an opportunity to slow down, tune into your senses and notice what you feel.
Private View
Thursday 10 September
Be among the first to experience Afterglow at an evening bringing together painting, poetry and live voice within the extraordinary surroundings of a white cube gallery within a disused church.
This will be more than an exhibition opening. The artworks, sound and performances will come together to create a shared experience of presence - one that continues to resonate after you leave.
Attendance is free, but RSVP is essential.
Join the Inner Circle to receive your invitation, exhibition news and priority access to Afterglow events.

RETURN TO YOURSELF
The Afterglow Wellbeing Day
Sunday 13 September, 2–5.30pm
When did you last give yourself enough space to hear what is happening beneath the noise?
If you spend much of your life thinking, doing, responding and holding everything together, it can become difficult to hear your own inner voice. This immersive afternoon is an invitation to step away from the demands of everyday life and reconnect with the part of you that can easily become buried beneath them.
Held within the paintings and atmosphere of Afterglow, the experience will take you on a carefully guided journey through breath, sound and words.
Book NowYour journey through breath, sound and words
The afternoon has been intentionally created as one continuous journey. Breathwork opens the space. Sound carries you deeper. Writing gives form to what emerges.
Surrounded by paintings created through Kate Mayer’s own immersive relationship with sound, you will be invited to experience creativity not as something reserved for artists, but as a way of listening to and understanding yourself.
You may leave feeling calmer and more connected - or carrying a thought, feeling or truth that had been waiting for enough quiet to be heard.
Adrian Rambla from Reset will lead a deep breathwork session, helping you move out of your busy mind and into a more grounded awareness of your body.
Vocal artist and sound healer Tor will immerse you in a restorative sound bath, creating space for stillness, release and deeper listening.
Poet and performer Elle Dillon-Reams will then guide you through a creative writing workshop. You do not need to consider yourself a writer. This is about letting go of judgement and allowing whatever has surfaced through the afternoon to find its own words.
You will move from breath into sound, and from sound into expression - leaving with more than a temporary sense of calm. You may discover a feeling, thought or truth that has been waiting for enough quiet to be heard.

This experience is for you if you are longing to:
- step out of your head and reconnect with your body
- create space away from constant demands and distraction
- listen more closely to your intuition
- explore what wants to be felt or expressed
- experience creativity as a way of connecting more deeply with yourself
No previous experience of breathwork, sound healing or creative writing is needed. Come exactly as you are, with an open mind and a willingness to listen.
Spaces are limited to preserve the intimacy of the experience. Advance booking is essential.
