This exhibition takes an abstracted view of water in all of its forms along the South Down coastline. Starting with the rivers flowing down to the the foot of the Mourne Mountains, and continuing along the coastline and out the sea, this collection captures water in many beautiful and abstracted forms presented in both photographic and mixed media (photo base with acrylic, pastal and ink) compositions.
