A recent trip to Plymouth allowed some much-needed mental breathing room. 🌊 A small write-up of an exhibit has been posted on my old WordPress (website is currently private): Exploring Plymouth's Ocean City: The Box Museum Experience - https://kerryanncleaverblog.wordpress.com/2024/11/17/exploring-plymouths-ocean-city-the-box-museum-experience/

Pic 1 - Swimming hats created in 2021 for the Gorran Haven Cold Water Crew, a group of sea swimmers who support each other with motivation and companionship. 🏊 Each hat represents an important aspect of culture or folklore in the South West.

Pic 2 - A striking ship figurehead. 🚢

Pic 3 - In collaboration with the sea, the artist connected with water gatherers from around the world to bring all the seas to one location. 🌍 ‘The world addresses personal, poetic, and geopolitical aspects of human engagement with our seas.’

Pic 4 + 5 - Exhibit element exploring plastic and microplastic: Fisherman’s Kisses—discarded plastic rope. ‘Over 10,000 small sections of cut net were collected by local beach-cleaning volunteers in just a few visits to Whitsand Bay. A small number of them are displayed here.’ ♻️
