Above and Below | The Time and Tide Bell Project
Devon Open Studios 2022
I’m really delighted to have three Erosion Landscapes included in Above and Below: an exhibition of new works at Artizan Gallery, Devon, that respond to the themes celebrated by the Time and Tide Bell Project. https://timeandtidebell.org/
As part of Devon Open Studios 2022, Artizan Gallery is hosting castings and other artefacts from the @TimeandTideBells initiative, and hosting a programme of performances, readings, and workshops, in partnership with Prof Corinna Wagner (University of Exeter) on a project supported by the UK Climate Resilience Programme and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).
The Time and Bell Project was first conceived in 2008 by Marcus Vergette (artist, sculptor, bell-maker) and now includes 7 completed and 6 in progress bells along the UK coastline. The bells are public artworks, gifted to reinforce connections in local communities, between different parts of the country, between the land and the sea, between ourselves and our environment. The bells, which toll at high tides, remind us of the material and intangible relationships we have with each other and the world around us, and in doing so draw our attention to the fragility of our environment and the impact we inevitably have through our irrevocable connection to it.
