Penwith in the Penwith – a selection of Penwith Gallery artists explore their relationship with and conceptualisation of our wild and uncut landscape.  Mixing the work from 3D sculpture through hollow sculpted wooden forms to stunning painted interpretations of the raw Penwith topography.

The featured artists invited by Tom span three decades and each bring their own interpretation of their Penwith home.

Presenting works by Tom Leaper, Jason Lilley, Sophie Fraser, Graham Davey, Kleiner Shames, and Iona Sanders in a kaleidoscope of creative interaction with their environment.
