Overview
Pink Granite : Wild Flower brings together the complementary practices of Bozena Pollock and Sally Cokeley in a shared response to the distinctive landscape of Port Soif. In their own words:
"Collaborating on “Pink Granite : Wild Flower” brings together our different approaches to painting and observation.
We chose Port Soif for its combined inspirations for us both - the distinctive horseshoe shaped beach and coastline, and the enclosing dunes that support a rich wild plant habitat.
Meeting regularly at or near the beach, Bozena’s home handily being very close by, has made it a pleasure to work consistently on the project and being able to return to the same place regularly helped us observe changes overtime and to deepen our connection with and understanding of the landscape.
The project collaboration evolved naturally through a practical and generous sharing of ideas, material and research.
In our work together Bozena focuses on painting large scale images that capture the overall landscape and atmosphere of Port Soif while Sally concentrates on the plants and their habitats and exploring the smaller details of the landscape. Together our combined perspectives create a more complete and layered response to the environment of Port Soif."
The exhibition runs until 1st May 2026 and is open seven days a week between 10am and 5pm.
