L J Furner & Virginia Orr

St Margaret’s House’s 15th Artists in Residence, October-December 2025

After many years working at St Maragret’s House, we had to say goodbye to one of our our Arts & Wellebing Producers, Laura, and our Exhibitions Coordinator, Virginia.

SMH offered the pair a chance to share a residency in hopes to say a final goodbye to SMH, whilst also enocurgaing a developement of thier respective practices.

The pair explored themes of change, memory and trust through a myriad of visual art practices, including photography, weaving, and oil painting.

They showcased their collaboration in the ‘Exploring Change’ exhibition on 30th January 2026.
