Ella Milburn l Map 24
Ella Milburn is a Brockley-based collage artist whose hand-cut works explore uncanny and ethereal dreamscapes. She has been creating collages for over ten years, first in Manchester and now in London, selling original pieces and prints. Ella runs Collage Club, a fortnightly creative session at Hill Station Café where participants transform vintage books, magazines, and other found materials into striking, surreal images. What began as informal workshops in her Brockley living room has now become a community where creativity and experimentation flourish.

Julian Mills l Map 20
My work spans drawing (fine ink and charcoal), printmaking (monoprints and etching), and oil painting, focusing on portraits and abstract landscapes, much of which has a dreamy, ambiguous quality. Taking references from Japanese floating world artists and anime, as well as Turner and Auerbach, the scenes I create invite the viewer into spaces where clarity is elusive and the narrative remains just out of reach. This sense of disconnection is central to my practice, creating tension between presence and absence, visibility and obscurity, and hoping to draw the viewer into an almost meditative otherworldly space.

Rachel Mooney l Map 32
Rachel is a landscape architect by profession and has been printmaking alongside for over 30 years. She was particularly charmed by many of the local Deptford shopfronts and began a series of etchings to capture their over-looked details, the typography and beauty; almost as an archival responsibility she has spent many years bringing back the detail and information which we daily passed by, and which in most cases is gone forever. As a tonic to the technical nature of her shop fronts, she works also with dry point on perspex, with unique monotypes. Whilst trying out screen printing on glass, she was drawn to the glass workshop and has created a series of hand painted stained glass panels.

Myrel Morgan Jones l Map 3
It fascinates me how people see, how much or little imagination is needed to see into an image, Very little information can be enhanced by the individual’s experience history and understanding. Seeing with the imagination is part-of the viewing process, even huge amounts of narrative can be added.

Yo Okada l Map 21
My print work ‘Snowy Mountains in Alaska’ is based on the scenery I saw for the first time on my long-awaited flight from London to Haneda (Japan) after the long COVID pandemic. In March 2022, due to the Russia-Ukraine war, I was unable to fly over Russia and had to change to a northern route through the North Pole. Although I felt sad, I was so impressed by the vast snowy scenery of the Alaskan mountains from the airplane window. Thus my theme is to transfer harsh reality into fantasy, creating artworks that mix figurative and abstract.
