This is a very special exhibition of work inspired by the waters we live, work and play by, and artist Rachel Riggs Manchester/Maltese heritage of Cotton Mills, Mediterranean seas, folklore and superstition.
‘Between the Devil & the Deep C’ explores the relationship between gender and ecology to identify the symbolic links between the oppression of women and the degradation of the ocean.
In a new series of female gaze collages and large scale assembled paper and object sculptures using upcycled materials, the critical
loss of the ocean’s health and our relationship is explored.
A new large scale sculptural artwork the 'Madonna of the Bleached Corals' will be activated at Paddle for the Planet on Sunday 30th Nov before being added to the exhibition.
Thanks to support from CCWA, Jane Hammonds film 'Corals Last Stand' will form part of the exhibition to be viewed as well as new collaborative works.
Visitors are also invited to attend the opening night on December 11th at 6pm.
