Slugtown is pleased to present Scope Creep, a four-person exhibition bringing together painting, sculpture, and installation by Izzie Beirne, C Mae Bloom, Jamie Hammill, and Miranda Webster.

The exhibition will consider the material and psychological residue left by accumulation: paint layered and excavated, found objects gathered and reassembled, and marks repeated until an image resolves. Ideas of accrual, the passage of time held within an object, and the point at which small, overlooked parts become whole are concerns carried by the artists in the show.

Izzie Beirne (b.1996, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK) considers themes of domesticity, violence and power imbalances through a feminist lens. Beirne manipulates found cinematic imagery to produce her delicately-rendered oil paintings. Beirne studied her MFA at Goldsmiths University, London and has recently been the recipient of The Almacantar Award and studio residency. She has recently exhibited at Blackburn Museum and Art Gallery, The Auxiliary, Middlesbrough, and Gathering London. 

C. Mae Bloom (b.1992, Bath, UK) draws from long familial traditions of making, and adjacent interests in craft and labour to define her sculptural practice – a compelling constellations of ideas, interests and material inquiry. Bloom studied at The Royal College of Art, where she received the Rothschild Foundation Scholarship and the Gilbert Bayes Prize. Bloom has recently exhibited at Hannah Barry Gallery, London, Turf Projects, London and 36, Newcastle upon Tyne. She is represented by Hannah Barry Gallery. 

Jamie Hammill (b. 1994, Macclesfield, UK) engages with histories of production, and the manner in which historical objects and images find themselves unmoored from their contextual origins. Her studied in Newcastle and London, receiving the Betty Malcolm Prize and the Sarabande Scholarship from his MFA at The Slade School of Art. Recently he has exhibited at Salón Acme, Mexico City, Åjford Art Month, Norway, and at Blackhorse Workshop, London. 

Miranda Webster (b.1991, Auckland, New Zealand) works from observation, creating paintings that capture the physicality of subjects and the layered time of making, through concentrated looking and the slow accumulation of detail. Webster studied at the Beaux-Arts de Paris and was awarded Bourse de Dessin Helene Diamond and her work was Highly Commended in the John Moores Painting Prize in 2025. Recently she has exhibited at Alice Amati, London, Galerie Jousse, Musée D’Orsay (both Paris), and Mendes Wood DM, Brussels.
