Medmerry Commissions

We invited 3 local professional artists skilled in sculpture, storytelling/soundscapes and digital/photography to respond creatively to the landscape in 3 key locations across site. Together the commissions explore Medmerry’s past and present through the stories of its people and the movement of its landscape whilst capturing the ongoing relationship between sea and coast.
