Free & open to all, no RSVP needed.

To launch her book, The Truth and Untruth of Stones, Lucy Skaer will be in conversation with Simon Harlow, who has fabricated her work for the last 20 years and Tanoa Sasraku, with whom she shares ideas of the meaning and histories of materials, and ways to situate a queer rural practice.

Simon Harlow graduated in Environmental Art from GSA in 1998 and has been working as a self employed designer and maker ever since. Using a broad material palette he works with Artists, Architects, Designers, domestic and commercial clients to produce his own designs, and theirs. He works locally, nationally and internationally, choosing to be based in Govanhill, Glasgow, where he produces sculpture and furniture and makes a decorative solid surface material called Mirrl, based on his time in Japan.

Tanoa Sasraku (b. 1995, Plymouth)’s practice encompasses sculpture, drawing and filmmaking. Her work is rooted in the material and symbolic properties of land via landscapes, pigments, and minerals, and informed by a personal relationship to textiles and patternmaking. Sasraku graduated from Goldsmiths University (2018) and Royal Academy of Arts (2024). Recent solo exhibitions include ‘Morale Patch’ ICA, London, 2025, ‘Man Engine’, Vardaxoglou, London (2023); Tanoa Sasraku, Vardaxoglou, London (2022); ‘Terratypes’, Spike Island, Bristol (2022); and ‘Liths’, Peer, London, UK (2023).

Lucy Skaer lives on the Isle of Lewis. She is an artist who works with sculpture, film, print and drawing. Her work slows ideas down to abstractions and makes them concrete.
