FOREWORD
Still Moments
For their 2008 summer
exhibition, Quay Arts presents
Still Moments, by Island Artist
Eric Geddes. Spread over three
galleries, this extraordinary
exhibition brings together an
unprecedented range of work
by Eric Geddes, marking the
30 years of his career.
Revealing the breadth and
direction of Geddes’s most
recent work, the works are
given meaningful context
by photographic archive
material, video, documentary
and journals from the
artist's career. By charting
significant and developing
themes, the exhibition
provides an opportunity to
reassess the range of Geddes’s
achievements and the scale and
complexity of his work.
Geddes is a British sculptor,
photographer and film maker
living on the Isle of Wight.
He is inspired by and works
predominantly on the island’s
shorelines. His site specific
work involves the use of
natural and found objects,
either indigenous [stone, clay,
seaweed] or flotsam [wood,
metal, plastic].
Please Join us to celebrate the
10

Saturday 21 June, 3pm in the
Michael West Gallery at Quay
Arts. Wine and nibbles served
till 5pm. A documentary
interview with Eric, directed by
