Exhibition: Signposts and Departures

Signposts and Departures marks a new direction in Pete Newells's practice, building on twelve years of painting boats, harbours, and water. Developed through access to the archives and the locations of the SS Freshspring Society, Kathleen and May Trust, Rolle Canal Society, and Tarka Valley Railway. The exhibition combines on-site drawing, painted sillouettes, blueprints, and installation work. Exploring themes of heritage, restoration, and tourism the works trace journeys from design and manufacture through to preservation and public memory.
