Tina Hill, Liz & Dominic Hewitt are three West Country artists who share a passion for both the physicality and emotionality of the Cornish Landscape.

Showing for the first time in the Crypt Gallery, this exhibition is a result of many years exploring the paths, beaches, archaeological and industrial sites of Cornwall.

Distilling their experiences into a visual archive using mixed media, painting, print, textile art and photography, Dominic, Liz & Tina show us not just the surfaces textures but dig deeper to show What Lies Beneath.

Tina Hill     

Tina is inspired by archaeology, geology and museum artefact. The marks and stains of time.

For this exhibition she is showing both paintings and unique mixed media prints that are inspired by and conceived in Cornwall, often using pigments sourced from the Cornish land itself.

Liz Hewitt

In this exhibition Liz is documenting the marks left on the Cornish Landscape by the tin mining industry with rust printed papers, mixed media collage, prints and handmade books.

The cloth & paper used has been coloured / stained with rust & earth pigments collected from walks along the coastal paths & beaches, leaving an impression of past times.

Dominic Hewitt

Dominic is fascinated by the remnants of our industrial past; the discarded, the decaying and the rusted. In his photographs he enhances the colours to reveal their underlying beauty, their texture and form, giving us alternative and deeper insights into what is left behind. His work follows the decline of the mining and fishing industries in Cornwall and beyond.
