London Bridge Hotel Open 3
The London Bridge OPEN project supports local makers, showcasing works in a variety of mediums ranging from painting to installation.

Lindsey Mendick: Regrets, I’ve Had a Few
Lindsey Mendick’s (b 1987, London) solo exhibition has launched in SPACE’s new gallery in Ilford.
Mendick creates installations centred on her skilled work in ceramics and includes banner painting, sewing, metalwork, furniture making and sound. Her autobiographical works draw on the horrors of adolescence, steeped with confessions that are both vulnerable and resilient.
As part of the commission at SPACE, Mendick is working with a group of Ilford-based +65s to explore nostalgia and folklore through ceramics. Together they will build clay effigies in the shape of the advice they would have given their younger selves.
Showing until: 28 Mar 2020
Opening times: Wed 12 – 8pm; Thu – Sat 12 – 5pm
Location: SPACE Ilford, 10 Oakfield Road, IG1 1ZJ
