Eliza Spindel

Eliza joined Kettle’s Yard in August 2018, initially assisting with curating and researching temporary exhibitions such as Artist: Unknown and Alan Reynolds: A Legacy. Since August 2019, she has taken on responsibility for the Kettle’s Yard house and permanent collection, including collections management, research and assisting with exhibitions. Eliza holds a degree in History of Art from Cambridge University, where her interests lay in British modernism and its exploration of ‘Englishness’, heritage and the landscape.

Eliza’s favourite thing about Kettle’s Yard:
I think my favourite place has to be the little conservatory of houseplants just before the bridge to the extension. As well as housing some beautiful artworks, like Ben Nicholson’s 1928-29 (two mugs) and Gregorio Vardanega’s suspended Disc, the space feels constantly alive with the shifting sunlight and jungle of plants. It even smells amazing thanks to the lemon-scented geraniums that grow there!
