Clay
Co-Founder
Clay Howard (Royal College of Art, UK / Art Students League, NY / Lewis and Clark College OR) is a San Francisco Bay Area born painter currently living in London. His satirical paintings reflect contemporary culture, as they expose the absurdity of human behaviour. His display of reptilian cartoon characters, scaly and green, embodies the outer skin humans use to present themselves to society.
His previous experiences include interning at The Aperture Foundation for The Steven A. Baron Work Scholar program in New York and as the lead Graphic Designer for the 10th issue of Beacon Quarterly Magazine in Portland, Oregon. This knowledge has brought an aspect of photographic composition, magazine culture, and storytelling into his visual language. While traveling in India, he was told by his friends that “Clay’ in Hindi translated to “Slippery Dirt”. Ever since, he has used the pseudonym Slippery Dirt satirically, as a play on his name and as a brand.
Saruha Kilaru
Co-Founder
Saruha Kilaru (b. 1998) is a multidisciplinary artist working with glass, printmaking, and material processes. A graduate of the MA Print program at the Royal College of Art, her work explores the mundane through colour theory, repetition, pressure, and perception as poetic and psychological tools. Her sensitivity to colour is central to her meditative practice, which spans textiles, paintings, monoprints, sculptures and installations.
Kilaru has exhibited at Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair 2021, Southwark Park Galleries, and the MP Birla Millennium Gallery in London, in 2022. She has received awards including the High Prize for Artistic Excellence (2022) and the Travers Smith Art Program. In 2024, she co-founded Calhi Studios in Delhi, a collaborative, multidisciplinary space rooted in experimentation and materiality, continuing to grow as a hub for community-led creative practices. In 2025, she was a part of the London Original Print Fair, and Jodhpur Art Week 1.0. In January 2026, her glass sculptures were shown by DHI contemporary as a part of the exhibition “What Remains”.
