You can view Kurt Jackson’s canvas Beauty and the Beast as part of the Royal West of England Academy Annual Open Exhibition.
Beauty and the Beast is a large mixed media and collage piece originally exhibited as part of Jackson’s Mermaids Tears’ collection which focussed on the resin pellets or nurdles from plastic manufacturing (colloquially known as mermaids’ tears) that are ever-present on our beaches, blighting the tidelines and impacting wildlife. The heavy collage applied to Beauty and the Beast is all from material found on Cornish beaches.
