Lorna Joscelyne: Making Friends With Time
Making Friends With Time is the debut solo exhibition by Lorna Joscelyne, presenting a selection of paintings and drawings from recent years which includes her time at The Royal Drawing School. Raised in North Wales and now based locally to the Tabernacle in London, Lorna is 25 years old and has committed her time to her art practice after having left her role in environmental consultancy. As well as building her method in oil painting, Lorna is a practicing tattooist. At the centre of her work is freehand drawing - a practice she has always returned to through her explorations.
This body of work arises from feelings of love, presence, and connectedness. It includes portraits, studies of the human form, and interpretations of what exists beyond the visible, the subtle forces between all of the living world. Her subject matter is often what she takes pleasure in noticing during moments of heightened awareness. The exhibition is a quiet celebration of aliveness, of the present moment and its continual unfolding. It explores time not as something rigid and measurable, but as a living, breathing companion. As something we can listen to, befriend, and grow with.
The exhibition is also a tribute to the late artist Eleanor Brooks (1925鈥�2022), who was a beloved mentor and early inspiration to Lorna. Their close relationship shaped much of her artistic outlook and practice. The grief of her passing threads through the show, softened by memory and gratitude.
