Leah Foulkes Solo Exhibition (Independents Biennial)
2025-07-18 10:00 - 2025-08-10 16:00 (Europe/London) | Make North Docks, 37 Regent Street, Liverpool, L3 7BN
Make CIC are proud to announce the first exhibition in our new gallery space at our North Docks Site – Sculptor Leah Foulkes, in collaboration with the 2025 Independents Biennial.
The exhibition will be open Monday – Saturday from 11am – 4pm from Friday the 17th of July – Saturday 9th August 2025.

Artist Statement
I have always been fascinated by architecture extending to the appreciation of the derelict,
dilapidated and decayed. The contrasting properties of materials found within the urban
landscape have informed the development of my current sculptural language. I often use
materials and objects taken directly from the built environment without changing their
found characteristics in the construction process. The work I am creating is about the formal
qualities of materials and how I can disrupt or enhance these qualities. I enjoy testing the
limits of materials and exploring the ways to manipulate them into new forms or combine
them in unexpected ways. Space, form and materials are all things I consider when making
the pieces, being informed by the space they will occupy and how the forms created will
challenge that space.

Artist’s Biography
Leah Foulkes is a recent Fine Art graduate from Wrexham University and is now a studio
holder at Stwidio Olivet, where she has spent time producing abstract sculptures inspired by
urban and industrial areas, through a process of material exploration. The contrasting
properties of materials found within the urban environment have formed the development
of her current sculptural language. She predominantly works on large scale three-
dimensional pieces but occasionally dips into painting and drawing too. Growing up in
Ellesmere Port has inspired many of Leah’s use of materials, in particular industrial materials
more commonly used in construction and architecture. Leah enjoys testing the limits of
materials and exploring the ways to manipulate them into new forms or combine them in
unexpected ways.

Borderline Project by Shiro MASUYAMA
2025-08-23 12:00 - 2025-08-31 17:00 (Europe/London) | Make North Docks, 37 Regent Street, Liverpool, L3 7BN
Shiro Masuyama, a Japanese artist based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, converted the interior of a used caravan into two parts—one half related to Irish culture and the other half to British culture. Many of the items, symmetrically displayed on their respective sides, have counterparts in both cultures.
Since moving to Northern Ireland in 2010, he has often been unsure about the distinctions between Irish and British culture within the complex society of the region. The project has helped him learn and understand the nuances of culture through discussions with people he has encountered who have physically entered the caravan. He has continued to develop the work by constantly adding objects and correcting/adapting the display. Over time, the caravan has transformed into a small museum of culture; however, he has struggled to maintain an equal balance between the Irish and British aspects.
As he is Japanese, he has been able to conduct the project from an outsider’s perspective and to bring a degree of neutrality to his approach—he is not religious, and he doesn’t have any political leanings.
He finds it really meaningful to show the caravan in Liverpool, which is widely known for having the strongest Irish heritage of any UK city.
Artist bio :
Shiro MASUYAMA is originally from Japan. His master’s degree in architecture has influenced his art projects, which primarily take the form of site-specific architectural interventions. Using his architectural background and his Japanese identity, he makes projects that fundamentally connect people and society— so-called socially engaged art. He believes interaction with people often brings unexpected results. It’s one of the most important processes and components in completing an artwork.
He moved to Belfast, Northern Ireland after completing international residencies at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin, Ireland (2006), and Flax Art Studios in Belfast, Northern Ireland (2009), and has been based there ever since. As an artist from Japan who has made their home in Northern Ireland, he is in a unique position to question how identity can be influenced by the dominant political forces surrounding us.
He has attended numerous exhibitions worldwide, including ‘BIENALSUR 2021 – The State of Things’, MACRO Museum of Contemporary Art Rosario, Argentina (2021); ‘Aichi Triennale 2013 : Awakening’, Nagoya, Japan (2013).
