This extraordinary exhibition brings together an unprecedented range of work by Eric Geddes, marking the 30 years of his career. Originally influenced by Richard Long, he is inspired by, and works predominantly on the shoreline. His site specific work involves the use of natural and found objects. Rather than use tools he relies on placing, stacking and wedging to achieve balanced forms, in which fragility and impermanence are an intrinsic part of their vitality and significance. Then the work is abandoned to the elements. Using photography he captures the dissolution of the work and catalogues the results to perpetuate the illusion that the work survives; the record of their existence is vital to him.
