A Coral Reef – Exhibition at SET Lewisham

SET is delighted to present A Coral Reef, a new exhibition, opening at SET Lewisham on 4 December, 6-9pm.

Bringing together new drawings, paintings, and sculptural works by artists and SET Associate Members Aidan Quinn and Hallam Wood, the exhibition explores fragility, connection, and the unstable systems that bind living things together.

Quinn (@maggot.kingdom) makes drawings and sculptures that reflect on the strangeness of living in a collapsing, disorienting world. His works begin with fragments—archival images, scraps of text, or simple patterns—which are redrawn, layered, and tiled until their origins blur and new connections emerge.

Wood (@hallamtwood) works between painting, drawing, and occasional sculpture, guided by the belief that all matter is connected. From this open-ended premise, he aims to realign the pedestrian elements of life. His recent paintings use looping lines to form links between objects and organisms.
