Purslane was founded in 2020 to shake up the status quo of the art market and promote a more socially conscious way of investing in art while supporting emerging artistic talent and raising awareness around philanthropic causes. The new gallery initiative is the gallery model of the future, disrupting and democratising the institutionalised art market by directing the majority of the proceeds to the artists and charitable organisations.
This tender body of works explores the complexity of the human experience. Major life themes, such as finitude, desires and a search for meaning are subjects she repeatedly returns to. However, darker and harder to discuss topics such as abuse and violence are expressed within her work too. Paired with her own emotions, experiences and that of the collective unconscious, Dymph continues to search for honest and shameless ways to explore these topics.
Using the human body, colour and symbolic aspects Dymph attempts to create a bridge between the physical and the emotional realms, wondering if we can reunite these extreme opposites. Leaving some room for interpretation she hopes to give the viewer the ability to identify with her work in their own personal way.
25% of all sales will be donated to Dymph's chosen charity, The Blijf Group, a Holland based non-profit that helps to stop domestic violence. Radically offering assistance to all involved: victims, children, witnesses and perpetrators. Their aim being to stop the violence and create safety through customized support.

‘What She Said’ brings together the creative work of a group of some of the most exciting female artists currently practicing in the UK.

25% of all sales will be donated to Women’s Aid.
Participating artists: C. Lucy R Whitehead, Joana Galego, Anne-Carney Raines, Olivia Sterling, Catherine Repko, Katy Stubbs, Colette LaVette, Lily Macrae, Bobbye Fermie, Charlotte Colbert, Eleanor Johnson and Nooka Shepherd.
