Kindred Spirits

Kindred Spirits is a collaborative artistic duo from the United Kingdom, renowned for their evocative exploration of human connection, memory, and the natural world. Established in 2016 by longtime friends and creatives, Eleanor Woods and Marcus Hay, Kindred Spirits melds elements of abstract expressionism with mixed media installations, creating immersive experiences that invite viewers to reflect on their personal narratives. Both artists bring unique perspectives—Woods with a background in textile arts and Hay in digital media—which converge in works that balance tactile craftsmanship with contemporary aesthetics.

Their art has been exhibited in major venues across London, Manchester, and Edinburgh, earning critical acclaim for its emotional depth and innovative use of materials such as reclaimed wood, textiles, and projection mapping. Committed to community engagement and environmental themes, Kindred Spirits frequently collaborate with local organizations, hosting participatory workshops and public art projects. Through their dynamic and heartfelt practice, they continue to inspire dialogue about our shared histories and sense of belonging.
