A holdfast anchors kelp to the seabed through rough and calm seas.
Heartwood is the strong inner core of a tree, supporting it through high winds and fine days.
In Hold Fast / Hart Wood, Lisa Matthews, a poet crossing into visual and sculptural practice, and Melanie Ashby, an artist working in paint and printmaking, draw on and transform these natural structures as ways of thinking about what anchors us, what sustains us, and how we navigate grief and uncertainty.
