WHAT LIES BENEATH in the Crypt Gallery

Date: 10th – 15th March 2024

Open: 10.30 – 5pm daily

Private view: Saturday 9th March 4pm to 7pm all welcome

Tina Hill, Liz & Dominic Hewitt are three West Country artists who share a passion for both the physicality and emotionality of the Cornish Landscape.

Showing for the first time in the Crypt Gallery, this exhibition is a result of many years exploring the paths, beaches, archaeological and industrial sites of Cornwall.

Distilling their experiences into a visual archive using mixed media, painting, print, textile art and photography, Dominic, Liz & Tina show us not just the surfaces textures but dig deeper to show What Lies Beneath.

Tina Hill

Tina is inspired by archaeology, geology and museum artefact. The marks and stains of
time.

For this exhibition she is showing both paintings and unique mixed media prints that are
inspired by and conceived in Cornwall, often using pigments sourced from the Cornish land
itself.

Liz Hewitt

In this exhibition Liz is documenting the marks left on the Cornish Landscape by the tin
mining industry with rust printed papers, mixed media collage, prints and handmade
books.
The cloth & paper used has been coloured / stained with rust & earth pigments collected
from walks along the coastal paths & beaches, leaving an impression of past times.

Dominic Hewitt

Dominic is fascinated by the remnants of our industrial past; the discarded, the decaying
and the rusted. In his photographs he enhances the colours to reveal their underlying
beauty, their texture and form, giving us alternative and deeper insights into what is left
behind. His work follows the decline of the mining and fishing industries in Cornwall and
beyond.
