July 11th - 18th August 2008

The coast has a strong fascination for many of us, even far inland we are aware of being an island nation.

The artists in this exhibition explore the sea and coast and it’s meaning for them... a sense of timeless beauty, the power and the peace, the texture and light, the freedom and the fear.

Featuring work by:

Jane Burnley
Hester Cox
Mary Farnell
Heather Gatt
Tina Mammoser
Jane Schaffer
Richard Shaw
Ian Scott Massie
Rachel Stainsby

‘Do you know what is beautiful here? Look, we walk, we leave all those footprints on the sand and they stay there, precise, ordered but tomorrow you will get up, you will look at this enormous beach and nothing will remain, not a footprint, not a sign, nothing. The sea rubs things out during the night. The tide conceals.’ Ocean, Sea – Alessandro Baricco.
