This exhibition is inspired by the changes I have experienced within my life, now in my 30’s. A friend of mine once texted me on Mothers Day cheering me on by saying Motherhood-the hardest of hoods, at that moment I thought that perfectly sums up the madness of navigating parenting. I felt seen and it made me think about all those moments in between that go unnoticed and unappreciated but without them we wouldn’t be where we are today.

It made me laugh and think back on life and how different it is today. It made me realise that there are beautiful moments in the mudane parts of our life. After all we are just mere humans existing and trying to make it in this world, sometimes just getting by one day at a time, other times sailing through feeling on top of the world.

With social media feeding us a stream of perfectly curated images of what the perfect life looks like, we often compare our mundane moments, diagnosing ourselves as “not enough”. With my art I try to find and capture those moments or images that go uncelebrated and try to find the beauty of them by presenting them out of context.

My work is a quiet recognition of those realities, and a reminder that beauty doesn’t always shout; sometimes, it simply sits in the room with us, waiting to be seen.

About the Artist:
Nadia Eloise is a Margate-based visual artist and goldsmith working in oils, watercolours and precious metals. Trained in both fine art and traditional jewellery-making, she creates figurative paintings and portraits that explore raw beauty, natural nudity, and the quiet poetry of everyday moments.

Salon presents: “Polite People in a Polite Socie

Salon presents: “Polite People in a Polite Society”, a conceptual photo project contemplating the interaction between “polite people,” or so-called “green men,” with a “polite society,” thus transferring traces of one’s activities into the space of others. The project questions the idea of empires’ capacity for self-analysis and the reevaluation of their own historical mistakes, addressing the effectiveness of such self-reflection.

Opening Event: Thursday 27th Feb 2025, 6-9pm at @salon.margate with performance by @clementine__blue
The bar will be open @101.social

Exhibition Continues: Friday 28th February - Tuesday 4th March 12-4pm. Weekend 12-6pm.

This exhibition is a result of an ongoing collaboration between artist Dr Melanie King and Dr Claudia Mignone - an astronomer and science communicator at INAF - Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica, Rome.

This exhibition highlights the beauty of raw data artefacts resulting from cosmic interactions with telescope sensors. These features include overexposed cores of stars which resemble black holes and six pointed stars which are an artefact of James Webb Space Telescope mirrors. In this project, King and Mignone have considered the construction of astronomical images and raw data artefacts that are often removed from astronomical images for public outreach purposes.

Astronomical images are often highly mediated, for example - colours are added to represent chemicals present in a galaxy or nebula. In this project, King and Mignone have been speaking to Alyssa Pagan and Joseph Depasquale at NASA to learn more about their image editing processes. In addition to this, the pair spoke to Mark McCaughrean (Former Senior Advisor for Science & Exploration at the European Space Agency) about his work with astronomical imaging.

This project comprises several colour printing processes and sustainable printing techniques, which mimic digital astronomical post-processing techniques.
These processes include risograph prints, produced at Park Press Margate. In addition to this, King produced sustainable screen prints using oak gall inks and recycled papers made in collaboration with photographer Clare Hewitt, botanical ink maker Carolyn Morton and paper maker Danielle Phelps. In her Ramsgate studio, King has been working on duotone cyanotypes using botanical toners. As King’s work considers the intimate connection between the cosmos, ecology of earth and materiality; King was keen to use sustainable printing processes to limit the impact of her work on the environment.
