Dominic McHenry at Eastnor Castle

HeritageXplore x The Dot Project

 Artist-in-Residence Programme |  Summer–Autumn 2025

Residency : 5th May – 1st June

This summer, Eastnor Castle opens its doors to Dominic McHenry, who will spend a month living and working within the castle walls.

McHenry’s practice moves between sculpture and painting, centred on geometric forms and repeating patterns. Alongside his totemic sculptural works, he has been developing a series of paintings using classical techniques, housed within hand-crafted frames that extend this formal language – objects that consider the relationship between surface and structure.

Eastnor presents a natural counterpoint to McHenry’s precise, ordered vision. Its layered stonework, vaulted ceilings and centuries of accumulated texture offer a richly imperfect backdrop – one that throws the clarity of his forms into sharp relief.

Here, geometry meets history, pattern meets patina. The dialogue between the work and its setting becomes the exhibition itself.
