The.Dot.Project

15/06/2026

When you step inside a place that has stood for centuries, you become part of an ongoing conversation between past and present. Others have stood in this same light. Walked these same halls. Separated only by time.

That conversation forms the basis of the fifth edition of our Artist-in-Residence programme THE.DOT.PROJECT with HeritageX, which places contemporary artists within some of the UK’s most extraordinary heritage homes.

These houses carry the traces of every life that has shaped them. Art is one way we reach back. And one way we leave something behind.

This year begins at Eastnor Castle with Dominic McHenry. During his residency, Dominic developed A King Dies Standing, a new body of work shaped by the castle and its layered histories. Working between sculpture and painting, Dominic creates a visual language of geometry, repetition, and structure, where precision begins to loosen and order quietly gives way to something less certain.

For a brief moment, our artists become part of these places, contributing to a story that remains unfinished.

A King Dies Standing will be exhibited at Eastnor Castle throughout June.

Dominic McHenry’s residency at Eastnor Castle marks the start of our 2026 Artist-in-Residence program across some of the most inspiring heritage homes in the UK. .dot.project

Dominic is developing a new body of work in direct response to Eastnor castle’s historic rooms.

Working between sculpture and painting, McHenry builds a language of geometry, repetition, and structure, where precision is both tested and quietly unsettled.

His sculptural works hold a totemic presence, while his paintings, set within hand-crafted frames, extend these ideas into surface and edge, where order begins to shift under its own weight.

We’re sharing a first look at works in progress, made in situ at Eastnor.

These pieces are still forming , adjusted, reworked, and refined in dialogue with the architecture around them. The process remains visible: moments of construction, pause, and recalibration held within each work.

More to follow as the residency progresses. Works will be exhibited in June across Eastnor Castle - tickets available via

Mar 6 – Mar 31, 2026

Presented as part of Women-Led Galleries Now, Women’s History Month initiative, One Enters a Room brings together the work of Elizabeth Dimitroff, Isabel Muñoz-Newsome, and Natalie Charles. The presentation examines intimacy as a material condition - not decorative or confessional, but structural. Across these practices, paint and process become methods of thinking through memory, embodiment, and the instability of lived experience.

Dimitroff’s paintings unfold in a state of suspension. Forming surfaces gradually, only to recede or fracture, creating images that feel sensed rather than definitively seen. Her engagement with oil is integral: the medium’s slow transformation parallels the shifting nature of recollection. Time is embedded in the surface. Through repeated revisions, erasures, and adjustments, the work accumulates hesitation and return. What remains is not a clear narrative image, but an atmospheric trace - a painting that holds ambiguity as its resolution.

Across the presentation, surface becomes a site of negotiation. Paint thickens, obscures, reveals. Images do not declare themselves fully but remain contingent, shaped by time and revision. Rather than staging overt narratives, the works propose a slower encounter - one in which presence is built gradually and meaning resists finality.

Charles works through acts of gathering and reassembling, often beginning with archival fragments - photographs or remembered stories. In the Skifeee fontasy film studies, she turns to images of her grandfather’s hands, reconstructing them from photographs and memory. These gestures become more than likeness; they register adaptation, communication, and vulnerability. A series of smaller works originates from a book of Polaroids he once took - darkened, blurred images that informed her muted palette and layered handling of materials. Recognisable figures emerge imperfectly, prompting reflection on how personal histories blur when they are not actively preserved. Charles does not attempt restoration; instead, she allows gaps and distortions to remain visible, holding memory as something continually in flux.
