Marchlands: The Space Between by Elizabeth Waight

23-26th February 2026 (Mon 2-6, Tues 11-5, Weds 11-6, Thurs 11-2)

Private view: 24th February 6pm to 8pm

In medieval times, the marchlands were the lands comprising the borders of a territory. Over centuries, they’ve taken on a mythic resonance: the edge of the map, the space between what is seen and what is sensed.

Marchlands: The Space Between brings together Elizabeth Waight’s photography, writing, and celebrant practice in a multi-sensory exploration of liminality: the thresholds between landscape and story, silence and song, ritual and imagination.

At the heart of the exhibition is the Fitzrovia Chapel itself: a vessel of stillness and sanctuary, and a resonant setting for work that listens to what lies beneath the visible world. Through image, text, and sound, you are invited to step into the in-between. To dwell for a moment in the hush before meaning, where echoes, stories and memories converge.

Waight’s photographs map the fragile borderlines of beauty and loss – from vanishing woodlands to imagined sanctuaries – while audio from her forthcoming book Blood Song draws the listener through the Chapel’s own sacred threshold. Other work explores ritual and transformation through the lens of her celebrant work: Pòsadh Clock is a poetic assemblage of Celtic wedding traditions.

Marchlands is both an unveiling and an invocation: a celebration of the unseen, the half-remembered, the luminous space where art, love, and story meet.
