Battersea park’s mirror pools are looking a little queasy. Young English artist Samara Scott has filled the two ponds here with swathes of swirling fabric and an almost stomach-turning array of coloured dyes for what she calls ‘liquid paintings’. One pool is filled with silver sheets and orange dye, the other with nets that drift through hues from blue to green to red. Up close, the works look a little like someone has dumped building materials in the water, but from further back you see shapes and patterns emerge, colours fade and bust – it’s pretty beautiful.

Samara Scott (b. 1984) Lives and works in London

Slipping between infusions of nature and artificial imitation, antiquity and plasticity, synthetic import and organic craft class, the materiality mish mashes a trickled down Art History into an interior language of disposable nostalgia and melancholy. There’s a certain slippiness. An uncomfortable eroticism and mastication between textures, products, fashion and style. An associative membrane, a dense scenery or mood board of shapes, smells, forms and materials.
