‘Sea Vessel’ is an exploration and extension of Peter’s site-specific research project in which he has been studying the human impact and ecology on a small section of the West Wales coastline.  Peter has spent the past year combing the shoreline of plastic as well as seaweed and clay, using these in his own ceramic practice to respond to the everyday ‘beauty’ but no less harmful effect of found plastic debris. 

Peter has collaborated with the photographer and video artist Nigel Goldsmith. Nigel currently lives and works in Bath but was born and grew up in Cardigan and knows the beach well. His current practice focuses on ideas about the Anthropocene, the sea, the flow of global trade through shipping and environmental issues.
