Stinking Rich is a nine month project researching and analysing extreme individual wealth. It focusses on seven of the richest people in the UK and worldwide, exploring how they created their wealth and the impact this activity has had on society and the environment.
The resulting exhibition consists of a series of seven etched and sprayed panels created out of recycled printing plates.
An exciting group show by six artists with strong connections to Newlyn – Yolande Armstrong, Dan Pyne, Anita Reynolds, Jo Gorman, Gordon Ellis-Brown and Mike Thorpe.
For many, merely existing in the Age of the Anthropocene creates an acute sensitivity to our actions and interactions with each other and the world around us. This exhibition explores some of the joys and the frictions of co-existence. In a world where we are increasingly understanding to be systems upon systems of inter-dependent networks, everything which happens cannot fail to leave its mark on everything. This exhibition traces some of these marks and asks questions about their significance.
Mark in Time at Jupiter Gallery, Newlyn, Cornwall., 20th to 25th September. Opening event Monday 20th September 6.30-9.00pm

NSA member Kate Walters is currently taking part in the exhibition Bathing Nervous Limbs at Arusha Gallery, Edinburgh. The starting point for this group show, which includes the work of more than 20 contemporary artists, many of them recent graduates, is the Balneum, an illustrated manuscript from the early 15th century about the therapeutic benefits of different bodies of water. In a review of the show, Susan Mansfield writes:
The show is a mixture of new work made in response to ideas in the Balneum and existing work on relevant themes……Kate Walters’ mystical evocation of baptism is one of the best works here.

NSA Member Susan Kinley is exhibiting work in the exhibition Time-Lapse at the Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro until 1st August. This is the first exhibition by the Design Nation South West group, with work including ceramic installations, tapestry, metal and jewellery. Opening hours are 10am – 4pm, closed Sunday & Monday. There is a £5 admission charge for the museum, but there is also a drawing show on at the moment.
In her work for Time-Lapse, Susan is showing a series of shaped glass wall panels made before and during the pandemic. They include fragmented imagery from photographs taken at intervals from a Bronze Age site at Tregeseal, West Cornwall, over many months. This wild landscape is constantly changing and also timeless, where stones and boundaries have survived for millennia. The kilnfired glass pieces encapsulate both a suspension of time and a continuum; before, during and beyond an unprecedented period of change and turbulence.
‘Mark This Moment’
A joint exhibition of abstract works by contemporary painters Laura Menzies & Stephanie Sandercock
The Crypt, Mariners Church, Norway Square, St Ives. TR26 1NA
Sat June 26th– Fri July 2nd / Open 10 – 5pm daily.
‘Mark this Moment’ is a joint exhibition by contemporary painters Laura Menzies and Stephanie Sandercock that showcases recent work, documenting the artists’ individual experiences of this unique time. Demonstrating a powerful approach to process and the materiality of paint, this exhibition aims to provide a contemplative and uplifting space where viewers can lose themselves in the rich layers of texture, colour and marks that unite these works. Both artists will be at the gallery during the duration of the exhibition to greet visitors and share more about their paintings and processes.
Laura combines oil, cold wax, collage and spray paint to create abstract paintings that are lyrical in style. Her work has an organic and imperfect feel and often contains harmonious pallets and soft shapes, inspired by living stones thrown from the coastline. www.lauramenzies.co.uk
Stephanie creates unique effects with ground limestone and marble plaster. Large-scale acrylic works on aluminium and rusted steel add a strong physical presence to the show, while delicate natural mica crystals catch the light like quartz in the Cornish coastal rock. www.stephaniesandercock.com
