‘Voices of Stone’ 

An exhibition led and curated by Yuchen Liu

Location: Project Space 1, 2nd Floor, GSA Students' Association

Open: Monday 27th April, 12 - 5pm and Tuesday 28th April, 10 - 5pm

Private View: Tuesday 28th April, 5 - 7pm

'Voices of Stone' invites visitors into a quiet, tactile space shaped by intuition, attention and material presence. The exhibition showcases small works created by GSA students during a participatory workshop, where each person began simply by choosing a stone and sensing its weight, texture and subtle details. Through gentle guidance and open-ended making, the stones were wrapped, marked, assembled and transformed using thread, pigment, paper and found fragments.

Together, all the works form a small “micro-collection” that encourages slow looking and close attention. Brought together in the calm of the Project Space, they offer a moment to pause, notice and reflect - opening space for visitors to explore how material encounters can shift perception and spark new ways of imagining and relating to the world around us.
