grown, no two pieces are ever identical and this becomes even more fascinating when we find fallen wood or driftwood that washes up on our beaches. The artists in this exhibition have that amazing talent of seeing what those pieces of wood can become and we cannot wait to see the resulting pieces they have made for us.” Some of the pieces by Kirsty Elson have been made from wood Sarah collected after the big storms this winter at Torcross, Beesands and Hallsands. Kirsty had a sell out

These are then assembled together with driftwood, wire, reclaimed maps,
