Echo Soho | 16-19 October, 2025

Our booth brings together a group of young, emerging artists whose practices are interwoven with their everyday lives, observations and surroundings. Their works reflect a shared attentiveness to the quiet, often fleeting details that shape human experience, whether found in the landscape, the body or the residue of daily life.

Among them, Willa Hilditch transforms fragments of the everyday into poetic constructions that reflect on memory and constructed space; Jameela Stenheden Gordon-King, a recent Slade graduate, explores gesture, ritual and ancestral connection through oil and natural materials; and Iola Lawton documents transient moments through photography and sculpture, using found materials to reflect on time and transformation. Collectively, these artists embody a sensitive, grounded approach to making, one that emerges not apart from life, but directly through it.

Iola Lawton is a London-based artist working primarily in photography and sculpture. Her practice focuses on documenting the world through observation, translating fleeting moments and memories into visual form.

Time is a central theme, explored through a durational, nostalgic lens and the relationship between images and objects. She is drawn to found materials and, with a curatorial approach, is interested in site-specific and responsive interventions, creating dialogues between presence, absence, and transformation. Lawton graduated with First Class Honours in Fine Art Drawing from Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London, in 2025, and studied for a semester at HFBK Hamburg in 2024 under Jeanne Faust (Time-Based Media) and Martin Boyce (Sculpture).

Jameela Stenheden Gordon-King is a London based painter, recently graduated at Slade School of Fine Art with a Master’s degree, and Glasgow School of Art back in 2022.

Her work is a conversation between self and the natural world. An exploration of the ways in which we interact and connect with the nature that surrounds us. The practice discusses these ancient notions. Experiences that bond us to civilisations, ancestors that came before us. Through the medium of oil, she is able to immerse herself in the rituals that inform every aspect of our being. Responding to the earth’s tones through the collection of natural pigment, coupled with the movements of figures. Ever evolving as the light reflected on its surface shifts. The colours in symbiosis with the curvature of the brush strokes and tonal accents of the figures, often mimicking landscapes. Gordon-King’s current body of work serves as a study into the acts of jest and play. Both are innate to our being. They speak to the child who by nature is free, to play is to be true to oneself.

Amata Benedict is an artistic partnership who create art and interiors based on the principles of the renaissance ‘bottega’ workshop. A place where disparate disciplines merge to create artworks that integrate the space between the artefact, the functional object and a work of art. They make pieces from pre-existing things, often using fragments of used textiles, deconstructed and reconfigured furniture as well as fabricating metal sculptures and building with clay. They create works inspired by ancient art to everyday contemporary household objects.

Their backgrounds stem from sculpture and interior design. Amata studied Interior Design at the Glasgow School of Art, working at World of Interiors before gaining more pragmatic skills at studios, including Lockbund Foundry, Fiorini, and Cox London. Benedict studied sculpture at Central Saint Martins, later completing an apprenticeship in fabrication at Pangolin Editions. He went on to gain a Masters in Fine Art at City and Guild’s Art School.

Willa Hilditch lives and works in London. She works between mediums and primarily from observation.

In Hilditch’s work she considers the ephemeral by-products of our routines as observed on walks through London. Discarded rubbish, residual marks left on surfaces and redundant cable wiring protruding from walls have all served as reference points in her work. Once in the studio she makes crude paper maquettes referencing the objects that she has seen. Arrangements of these paper forms and cut-outs are the subject for her drawn or painted still life. Her work has a warped sense of space with the only tell-tale signifier of scale being a staple, piece of tape or nail.
