Accessibility Notes
There are 3 small stone steps into the chapel and a ramp can be provided. The chapel is at the end of a gravel path and the stone floors can become slippery, especially in wet weather. This is an outdoor exhibition as there is no roof on the chapel, so please remember to bring weather appropriate apparel.
The nearest train station is Nunhead which does not have step free access. Buses 484, 78, P12 and 343 stop near the cemetery entrance.
About the Artist
Caitlin Hazell (they/them) is an artist, researcher, and clown college dropout, with a practice that intertwines imagined and exaggerated aspects of everyday life with myth, folklore, and ritual. Using absurdity to draw parallels between real and speculative narratives, Caitlin makes false historical objects, sculptures, installations, and performative characters, emerging in a range of everyday and ancient materials. Using bread, beeswax, and bronze, references are made to the Western museological system, archaeological digs, unusual things seen whilst walking around, or the latest viral fads.
Caitlin studied BA Fine Art at Kingston University in 2017 and recently completed the 2024 MA in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art. They have shown in exhibitions at the Art Workers’ Guild, Block 336, Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, and Platform Gallery (Finland). They are currently grinding metal souvenirs and flour, working both as a metalsmith and miller in London’s last windmill, researching historical bread, and trying to make a good babka.
