Artwork catalogue: “Pretty Little Fears” at Bleur Gallery, London

12-26 January 2025

301 million.That’s how many of us globally are living with an anxiety disorder. Yet somehow, fear makes us feel alone. It isolates, suffocates, feeds on silence.

Pretty Little Fears is an artistic response to the rise of anxiety disorder creating a safe space to talk about what keeps us up at night. Running out of money, watching the world burn, getting hurt, not doing a good job, not living life to its fullest, being left out, losing loved ones, stepping into the unknown, death. Big or small, our fears seep in through the cracks, grow until it is too large to name, too heavy to hold. And when we let them, they build walls so high, we forget we ever wanted to climb.

A group exhibition featuring 8 contemporary artists:
Bardha Krasniqi
Daniel Keys
Denisha Anderson
Jemima Sara
Jennifer Nieuwland
Maria Fynsk Norup
Nicole Chui
Rhea Gupte

When he was gone

“When he was gone” is a short photo story drawn from the hard knot of fear that is the companion to deep love.

The story was created during Autumn solstice 2019, a period swirling with a restless, icky, fearful and melancholic energy.

“The Returning”
(2023)

Performance video work by Maria Fynsk Norup
Filmed and edited by Maria Fynsk Norup
Created on the Danish island of Ærø, January 2023, water temperature 6ºC

Original poem written for the work:
The sea that connects us, divides us and is part of us
The longing to return, to become a part of whence we came
Even if just for a short while
We are born with salt in our blood
Creatures of the water
