‘Me and you three: 2 Years, 4 Artists, 8 Beaches’; that’s what’s it’s taken to create the exhibition that will fill the Michael West Gallery at Quay Arts from Sat 5 – Sat 26 June 2010.

The exhibition showcases works by four island artists; Annik Cullinane, Judes Crow, Mary Flynn and Gerry Price.

For the past two years these four artists have made joint monthly visits to eight island beaches, including Binnel Bay, Forelands, Yaverland and Luccombe.

The art work in the exhibition link the marine environment to humanity. Conflict between the undeniable beauty of the coast and evidence of decay, damage and change is a theme running through their work.

15 metres of plastic debris, large sea banners stitched from materials reclaimed from the sea and installations entitled ‘The Last Supper’ and ‘This is Not a Toy’ refer to a world drowning in plastic.

Plaques commemorating bodies washed ashore and paintings of human embryos comment on the unpredictability of life.

Clay re-claimed from the cliffs and sketches done on location evidence the continually changing nature of the coastal environment.
