The exhibition, at Batter Street Studios behind Plymouth Arts Centre, was a great success with so many friends and family attending the opening night. It was a real party as so many of us were exhibiting with the group for the first time.
The piece I exhibited concerned the debris always left on the coastal footpath in South East Cornwall.
Cornish Landscape 2 is a knitted piece dipped in plaster and threaded through with copper band, strips of plastic bottle and aluminium can. A sound piece accompanies the work created while cleaning the footpath and collecting the rubbish. The underground can not devour the plastic and aluminium.
The white 'bottles' represent the water carried along the footpath and consumed by walkers. They are heavy; the plastic empty bottle is light.
The final element in the installation is a group of bottles with messages inside!
