“DOMESTIC ABYSS” SARAH MAPLE AND MEG MOSLEY DUO SHOW

The Untitled Space is pleased to present “Domestic Abyss,” a collaborative photographic series by award-winning artists Sarah Maple and Meg Mosley, released as an Online Exclusive in celebration of Women’s History Month.

In this first-time collaboration, Maple and Mosley create a highly constructed series of still lifes that delve into the female experience through the lens of domestic landscapes. Transforming the home into both stage and psychological terrain, the artists interrogate the cultural expectations embedded within everyday interiors. Objects become charged with symbolism; absence becomes presence; stillness becomes tension.

“Domestic Abyss” examines the accumulation of invisible labor, inherited roles, and societal projections placed upon women. With Maple’s witty dismantling of gender stereotypes and Mosley’s meticulous crafting of emotionally charged visual narratives, the series navigates the complexities of contemporary womanhood with humour and irony.

Rather than romanticizing domesticity, the work reframes it as a constructed environment—one shaped by performance, desire, containment, and resilience. The “abyss” is not emptiness, but density: of expectation, memory, identity, and contradiction. This collaboration highlights the strength found in dialogue and shared authorship, resulting in a powerful body of work that resonates with contemporary audiences.

About Sarah Maple
Sarah Maple is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist known for bold, conceptually driven works that challenge ideas of identity, religion, race, feminism, and freedom of expression. Working across performance, painting, installation, collage, photography, and film, Maple frequently uses herself as both subject and protagonist, confronting stereotypes with wit, irony, and disarming honesty. Her practice is deeply informed by her mixed religious and cultural upbringing.

Maple graduated with a BA in Fine Art from Kingston University London in 2007, the same year she won The Saatchi Gallery’s “4 New Sensations” award for emerging artists.

Her work has been exhibited internationally at institutions and galleries including Tate Britain, The Barbican, AIR Gallery, The New Art Exchange, Golden Thread Gallery, and York Art Gallery. She has been the subject of documentaries produced by ARTE and VPRO.

In 2015, Maple published “You Could Have Done This” and was awarded a Sky Academy Arts Scholarship from Sky Arts. In 2017, she delivered her TEDx talk “The Freedom To Be Challenged.” She was selected for Syllabus V at Wysing Arts Centre in 2019. Her recent commission with the Decolonising Arts Institute at UAL included a residency at Bradford Museum and Art Gallery, where the newly commissioned work was acquired by 20 UK art institutions.

In 2019, Maple presented her solo exhibition “THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS” at The Untitled Space, New York. She has since participated in numerous exhibitions with the gallery, including “UPRISE 2025: The Art of Resistance” (10th Anniversary Group Show), “Art4Equality,” “BODY BEAUTIFUL,” “EDEN” at SPRING/BREAK Art Show 2019, and “DEFINING FORM,” among many others.

Her work is held in public and private collections including Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, Soho House, The Hyman Collection, and The Ned. In 2023, she published “Labour of Love” with KochxBos. Maple lives and works in Sussex, England.

About Meg Mosley
Meg Mosley is an award-winning artist known for her ability to construct emotional landscapes through her diverse artistic practice, which encompasses video, performance, and photography. With a meticulous approach to every detail—from production design to costume styling—she crafts narratives that delve into mainstream desires and societal norms surrounding the female experience.

In 2004, Mosley won a full scholarship to complete her Master’s degree at The Slade School of Fine Art. Her breakthrough work, “Megastar” (2012), was a persona created to coincide with the rise of social media and the selfie.

In 2022, she premiered her film “(dis)content,” exploring the darker side of social media and bringing to life—through dramatic staging and visual allegory—the emotional experiences that unfold behind the addictive blue glow of our smartphones.

Her most recent photographic self-portrait series, “semi-detached” (2024), features Mosley as a solitary figure exploring the remnants of domestic life in a recently vacated 1960s semi-detached home. The series was longlisted for the 2025 Aesthetica Art Prize and will be exhibited nationally in 2025–2026 at The New Art Gallery Walsall, Christie’s London, and York Art Gallery.

“Domestic Abyss” marks Mosley’s first exhibition with The Untitled Space.
