Anne Krinsky: Wetlands / Shifting Shorelines was an outdoor print exhibition inspired by vulnerable South Coast wetlands I photographed in 2020 and 2021. It was on view for six months at “The Seafront Gallery”on Worthing’s Promenade. I worked with projection, photography and digital print to design this series of 16 prints, part of my larger project about wetlands and climate change in a range of river and coastal locations.
For this exhibition, I explored wetlands on the South Coast of England, including Lymington, Keyhaven and Chichester, Pagham and Portsmouth Harbours. I wanted to share my passion for these fragile and beautiful coastal habitats, which are threatened by rising sea levels and pollution. It’s heartbreaking to see the overgrowth of algae, from agricultural runoff and dumping of raw sewage, that is engulfing South Coast wetlands. Southern Water have continued dumping raw sewage in coastal waters (as recently as October 2021) even after being handed a record £90 million fine.
To highlight the inspirational work of community groups and scientists working to protect and restore coastal ecosystems, I included information panels in the exhibition about Bird Aware Solent, The Solent Oyster Restoration Project and The Sussex Kelp Restoration Project. The exhibition was supported by Worthing Borough Council, a bursary from a-n The Artists Information Company and Metro Imaging.
Wetlands / Shifting Shorelines ran in tandem with my exhibition, Fugitive, at the Worthing Museum and Art Gallery.
