...Sorry, this event has reached full capacity...

From the multiple perspectives of above, below and within, through abstraction and representation, this exhibition explores the ocean, its life-forms and the images and imaginary visions that it inspires.

The ocean is an ephemeral and moody mass that has compelled artists for centuries. It is so appealing because of its ever-shifting colour spectrum; the textures of its surfaces, its fathomless immensity and otherworldly depths. The ocean is perceived as a wild mass in contrast to the cultivated land masses of earth, only because it is a space poorly tolerated by our land-bound bodies. At the same time, it is crucial for life on earth, as a vital oxygen-producing entity, that is more fragile and more imperiled than it looks.

Participating Artists : Erin Coates, Carmela Corvaia, Julia Davis, Lesley Duxbury, Jeremy Kirwan-Ward, Hiroshi Kobayashi, Sue Lovegrove, Clyde McGill, Roy Wiggan and Cecile Williams.

This event is presented in association with PERTH FESTIVAL and Holmes à Court Gallery .
