is a multi-disciplinary creative based across London and Essex

who mainly works with printmaking and audio-visual production. Her work across both mediums often share a common thread: exploring the cultural spaces and happenings that nourish community within Britain, mainly routed in music - often looking at them through a lens of nostalgia and collective memory.

Through dismantling and reappropriating clips from her own ever-growing personal archive of video, her films pulsate visually and sonically, evoking a sense of familiarity within everyone that encounters them. The meditative ebb and flow of the river Thames serves as a backdrop to her practice, the tides forming a parallel to the repetitive train journey from the mouth of the thames into central London.

Mary re-found a love for printmaking after she graduated from her degree in Fine Art at the University of Leeds, after possessing a desire to have a less technologically based side to her practice. Through print she captures places central to the local community, whether these be pubs, music venues or cultural landmarks both in South East Essex and beyond.

Lodge’s work is universal and dives into shared collective memories that outweigh generational, cultural, and/or socioeconomic backgrounds. Her experimental films are representative of life and the fleeting moments that we experience collectively and often reflect on alone.

Mary Lodge studied Fine Art at the University of Leeds and has exhibited her work at live music events, Focal Point Gallery, Southend and Estuary Dreams Festival.
