Land/Sea (Tir/Môr) is a major multi-site solo exhibition by Wales-based artist Mike Perry spearheading the new climate campaign - Climate Conversations.
About
Bringing together key works from his Wet Deserts and Môr Plastig series, Perry’s work engages with significant and pressing environmental issues and the fragility of the planet's ecosystems.
The Môr Plastig series (Welsh for ‘plastic sea’) is a forensic photograhic investigation into plastic objects such as bottles, shoes and packaging washed up on our beaches, inviting us to consider the pollution of our beaches and the impact of consumerism. Wet Deserts captures the negative impact of monocultural land use and over-intensive cultivation, and the process of 're-wilding' by which nature reclaims its biodiversity.
Mike Perry focuses our attention on the growing environmental crisis at home, probing questions about our activity and inactivity. The works spark a conversation which we hope to continue in our Climate conversations public programme this summer .
Curated by Mike Perry and Thelma Hulbert Gallery, adapted from Ffotogallery/Touring exhibition Land/ Sea originated by David Drake, Director of Ffotogallery and Ben Borthwick. Delivered in partnership with LED. Supported by Arts Council England and East Devon District Council Climate Emergency Fund
