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.
DATE SHOWN
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.

ABOUT
Elizabeth Waight
A photojournalist, fiction writer and wedding celebrant. On the surface these may seem like disparate things, but delve a little deeper. Just like the golden threads that weave through the Map of Many Places in my newest novel, all my work is connected by the same common thread; that of liminality and evoking unseen things.
With an MA in Photojournalism, Elizabeth’s work is exhibited in museums and galleries in the UK and internationally. I also create bespoke pieces for homes, hotels and workspaces.
