A STITCH IN TIME - PAUL SMITH SPACE - GROUP EXHIBITION
A reflection on fleeting moments of calm ; those quiet instances that linger in memory. The warmth of the sun on your face, the taste of coffee by a familiar window, or here, the sweetness of melon in the summer. This body of work captures the beauty in the ordinary, inviting the viewer to savour the subtle joys that slip through time.
Through the common ritual of the picnic, the artist brings us back to memories of warmer, gentler moments ; be it the warmth of the sun, or the one created by a shared gaze. It is that moment where conversations fade from memory, yet the feeling remains: the haze of voices and sounds, the detail of a napkin, the scent of cut fruit, and a quiet sense of shared escapism.
Poem
Do you dare remember,
The sweet taste of summer?
Between the stripes,
feet in the grass,
You fall asleep,
At last.
Wrapped in loud whispers,
Warmth on your neck,
A warmth that lingers.
Forgetting,
For an instant,
That this moment won't last,
Oh, the sweet taste of summer.
ON YOUR WAY HOME - DAVID PARR HOUSE MUSEUM - SOLO EXHIBITION
Shown alongside the Richard Hopkins Leach travel journal, the exhibition explores how personal journeys echo across generations. Just as the late Ric Leach retraced his great-great-grandfather's 1814 route from Windsor to Cornwall, Campbell maps the emotional terrain of inherited memory.
On Your Way Home, What Will You Find? draws on Campbell's father's childhood journey home from school in Jamaica, using that daily walk as a metaphor for returning to the bittersweet moments that shape our sense of home.

What was once Held, What now Remains
This body of work explores the transmission of stories, gestures, and memories across generations. ‘On your way home’ focused on my father and the feeling of displacement one can feel in different ways, at different times of one’s life, and the stories passed down along the way.
‘What was once Held, What now Remains’ will be drawing from my Jamaican and French heritage, I focus on the women who shaped my family history: figures whose presence live on more through memory than through direct documentation.
My father was raised by his grandmother, a woman I never met, yet whose presence has been carried forward through a single photograph, anecdotes, descriptions, and at times, conflicting narratives. The same thing can be said about my mother’s mother, who passed before I was born. These women exist in a space between absence and transmission: remembered through fragments rather than fixed identities.
The works do not seek to depict these figures perfectly, but to trace what remains of them, and the ideas they represent. Presences emerge through gestures, textiles, silhouettes, and recurring forms that resist being fully visible. Embroidery operates here not only as a medium, but as a form of transmission: of gestures, of knowledge, and of memory passed on through generations.
Threads accumulate, suggest, break, and blur, mirroring the instability and yet persistence of memory. The work more generally asks: how does the memory of a person survive when it is passed down imperfectly? And how can these fragments be translated into material form?
Landscapes appear as spaces where one wanders, searches, without fully arriving. Within them, figures surface and recede, as if accidentally encountered rather than represented. The work moves between inheritance and invention, suggesting that identity is shaped not only by what is known, but by what is felt, remembered, and continuously reimagined. Embroidery has long carried memory, women’s memory in particular, and this project follows within that lineage, transforming inherited fragments into tactile, living heirlooms.
PAST Exhibitions
LONDON ART FAIR - ED CROSS FINE ART GALLERY
Following on from her recent stellar solo exhibition with the gallery On Your Way Home, Ed Cross Fine Art presented new and recent works that float in spaces of ambiguity, between the past and present, figuration and abstraction, alienation and belonging. The works meditate on the quiet moments of lone figures, domestic settings, landscapes, habits and the power of a bouquet.
In response, the artist translated these emotions into a poem: titled 'A similar day'.
Poem
The sky blushes,
You take a sip,
From the warmth beneath your fingers.
And from the steam that caresses your lashes,
Your eyes lock on the light that lingers,
Threading through the blackened trees.
And before you could sigh,
Heavy lids, tired eyes,
You focus on that bouquet,
Once vibrant,
Once vivid,
Now grey.
Once alive with colour,
Dried and nauseating, faintly sour,
A mossy scent, a grassy odour,
Both fading over time.
Who thought to change the colour,
of what was once crimson and lime ?
You stand,
Awake,
Ideas fading away,
The floor breaking a little more,
To each step you leave behind.
It will be a similar day.

ON YOUR WAY HOME - ED CROSS FINE ART GALLERY - SOLO EXHIBITION
Laetitzia Campbell’s first solo exhibition On your way home at Ed Cross Fine Art, London, is inspired by her father’s journey home as a schoolboy in Jamaica. This physical journey becomes a metaphor for questioning the nature of belonging. Home, she suggests, is not a place we inhabit, but a memory we carry - constantly rewritten as we move through life.
In response, the artist translated these emotions into a poem, inviting viewers to connect with an experience she believes we all encounter in our own, deeply personal way:
On your way home,
What did you find?
An old tree to shade your troubles,
That woman,
Who made your life so humble,
The orange sun sinking,
Your peaceful self enjoying,
Thinking, reading, breathing,
Just breathing.
Oh sweet and painful memory to go back to:
You, a book, the shade.
Nothing shades you now,
Not the tree,
Nor yourself.
On your way home you found nothing,
But regret,
Love,
And pain.

HANDS - ON RESIDENCY EXHIBITION - APRIL 28TH 2026 - APSARA STUDIO (BATTERSEA)
For this residency, I wanted to erase time.
No more deadlines, no more structure, only the sensation of working.The rhythm of the hand, the elbow, the foot on the pedal. A state where making becomes continuous, almost unconscious.
Time shifts.
It becomes the fading light at the window. The numbness in the fingers after hours of stitching. Something vague, suspended. Like a holiday where each day blends into the next. A landscape you sit in front of, unsure how long you have been there for. A nap you don’t remember beginning, and cannot measure once it ends.
In this state, the self begins to blur. Thoughts dissolve. Was I even thinking? Of what? I cannot quite recall.
It becomes a space of absence while something is being created.
This desire emerged from a period of constant activity, where exhibitions and life overlapped, creating an endless sense of urgency. Plans accumulate, tasks multiply, and what feels important is often displaced by what feels more immediate, essential. My practice, increasingly shaped by structure and anticipation, demands decisions in advance: formats, scales, narratives. This residency is an attempt to step away from that. To suspend planning, and instead, make space for experimentation, hesitation, and missteps. The works presented here are not only outcomes, but traces of a process: an opening into how they came to be.
