Overview
Earth Matters is an exhibition by Bridget Spinney that explores our relationship with the natural world and the need to live in greater balance with it.
Working with natural materials such as charcoal, cuttlefish ink and homemade plant-based inks, Bridget’s practice is rooted in local landscapes and shaped by deep environmental concern.
Through a series of works inspired by beaches, seaweed, fish, soils and wild plants, the exhibition reflects on fragile ecosystems under pressure from pollution, chemicals and plastic.
Techniques range from charcoal beach prints capturing fleeting wave patterns, to gyotaku fish printing and evolving organic inks whose colours continue to change over time. Together, these works preserve transient moments of nature while encouraging kinder, pesticide-free and plastic-free ways of living.
Living and working in Guernsey, Bridget draws daily inspiration from the island’s coastlines and commons.
Earth Matters is both a celebration of nature’s quiet beauty and a thoughtful call to protect what is increasingly at risk.
