RED CREEK 
4th - 7th November 2021
Peggy Atherton & Andy Hughes
At Borlase Smart Rooms, Porthmeor Studios, St Ives, Cornwall

A collaborative exhibition of photographic and sculptural installation in response to the material entanglements at Frenchman's Creek, Lizard, Cornwall. Red Creek is a ‘pop-up’ show of work engaged with environmental politics and poetics. Haunting photographic work by artist/environmentalist, Andy Hughes, comes together with a mysterious sculptural installation by Peggy Atherton in response to the site of Frenchman’s Creek, Cornwall; its complex entanglements: ecologies, histories and fantasies. Both artists explore the poetics of waste matter, themes of ruin and entropy, weaving together fairy-tale elements with contemporary critique and wry humour.
