The.Dot.Project

When you step inside a place that has stood for centuries, you become part of an ongoing conversation between past and present. Others have stood in this same light. Walked these same halls. Separated only by time.

That conversation forms the basis of the fifth edition of our Artist-in-Residence programme THE.DOT.PROJECT with HeritageX, which places contemporary artists within some of the UK’s most extraordinary heritage homes.

These houses carry the traces of every life that has shaped them. Art is one way we reach back. And one way we leave something behind.

This year begins at Eastnor Castle with Dominic McHenry. During his residency, Dominic developed A King Dies Standing, a new body of work shaped by the castle and its layered histories. Working between sculpture and painting, Dominic creates a visual language of geometry, repetition, and structure, where precision begins to loosen and order quietly gives way to something less certain.

For a brief moment, our artists become part of these places, contributing to a story that remains unfinished.

A King Dies Standing will be exhibited at Eastnor Castle throughout June.
