Whitewater Gallery launch their 2018 exhibition schedule this Easter with an exhibition of ceramics and photography inspired by the rich textures of Cornwall's dramatic north coast.

Ceramicist Paula Downing's strikingly beautiful slab-built works make reference to the mining and geological heritage of the Cornish landscape. Combining the striking shapes of rock formations with both matt and metallic surfaces, works in this collection explore the way rocks move and split, making spectacular gaps and fissures, and contrasting shafts of light with dark, dramatic shadows.

Photographer Nick Wapshott is known for his creative engagement with the unique culture and beauty of the Cornish coast. The subtly muted, limited-edition photographs in this new collection include a series of texturally focused landscape works, inspired by Polzeath and the surrounding area, as well as a series of abstract, texturally inspired images.

The exhibition opens on 30 March and runs through to the 4 May.
