Bottles Grid
New Acquisitions Gallery, National Museum Wales, September 2023
Perry’s photography is not concerned with the campaigning rhetoric of straight environmental documentary. Rather it poetically alludes to what we might be leaving for future generations. – Skye Sherwin
Great to be part of the new hang at National Museum Wales New Acquisitions galleries…and in the company of some of my favourite artists inc Bridget Riley, David Nash, Rachel Whiteread, Richard Deacon, Roger Cecile and many more. Love Blod, 2022 by Welsh Ghanian artist Anya Paintsil.
It’s 10 years since I started photographing plastic bottles washed up on Pembrokeshire beaches and sad to see the lack of progress made by the drinks industry. Coca Cola’s lack of urgency is a disgrace putting profits before planet. Thanks to Bronwen Colquhoun and team at NMW, Ann Jones, Ben Borthwick, David Drake, David Alston, Ffion Rhys, Cathy Lomax and Ruth Gooding.
