The Studio, Newlyn Art Gallery

Trethvor (Cornish for Seaside) is an adaptable, itinerant photography exhibition that celebrates the Cornish coast.

It features work by Michael Eddy / Jasper Fell-Clark / Tor Harrison / Tom Ingate / Melanie Stidolph / Becky Tyrrell

The work of the six artists included explores a range of interpretations of the seaside. From the fishing industry that has shaped much of the region’s history, to personal and poetic reactions to the changing landscape of the coastline, they each provide us with an insight into Cornwall’s arguably most defining feature.

The works have been put together into a newspaper, copies of which are available in the gallery for you to take away. The newspaper and exhibition sit alongside the exhibition Seaside: Photographed

If you feel inspired to take things further, why not take your own photographs? Or curate your own exhibition of this work? (You’ll need two copies of the newspaper to create the full show.)

Whatever you produce, please do share it for others to see.
