Goings on at Newlyn Art Gallery

conical dark grey, 3d volcano, about 6' tall, with a rough hand-made quality The volcano erupts! Pink lava (aka vinegar and bicarbonate of soda), spews from the top of the volcano down the sides.

Kim looks down the hatch of a green bunker,which is about 5' tall and 5' square. There's a light and ladder inside and the use of mirrors tricks you into thinking the ladder goes down for ever...Kim takes a look into Patrick Lowry's sculpture, to see how far down it goes...

We trundled down to Newlyn yesterday for this fun, light-hearted exhibition that was part of the Newlyn Art Gallery's Transitions programme and was curated by Sovay Berriman. The work on show was inspired by the film Journey to the Centre of the Earth and had a fantastical, childlike quality to it. The film was playing throughout the event on a tiny old-fashioned tv and was a great distraction for Kim - while I hung around stuffing the rock cakes on offer! Mmmmm, well what else is there to do on a wet Sunday afternoon?
