LANDSlide by Crescent Arts Exhibition

An exhibition of photography, film, sculpture and painting exploring the precarious space between land and sea. 

Bringing together work by Rio Darwin, Pheobe Riley-Law, and Molly Newham, LANDSlide questions our desire and urgency to control and document a shifting environment, reflecting on coastal erosion along the Holderness coastline as an interconnected, living process.

Her practice uses intuitive mark-making, gestural forms, and layered tactile materials to reflect on human connection to place, physical movement, and the impermanence of natural landscapes.
