The Channel Islands Contemporary Art Show 2026
ArtHouse Jersey: 20th March - 3rd May 2026
Art for Guernsey: October 2026 (TBC)
This second edition of The Channel Islands Contemporary Art Show is inspired from the diverse voices, social realities, ecosystems and global connections of the present day Channel Islands.
Bringing together a range of artists and for this edition focused on a new generation of artists from the three regions producing this exhibition - Guernsey, Jersey and Brittany, France - it attempts to get under the surface of the worlds that colour our everyday lives and the interactions and industries that hold our communities together.
With a commitment to a spirit of dialogue, experiment and artistic rigour the Channel Islands Contemporary Art Show is produced by ArtHouse Jersey and Art for Guernsey and in association with Passerelle Centre d’Art Contemporain in Brest, Brittany.
I am very proud to be taking part with my project
Nature Doesn't Grieve: Notes on Impermanence.
A narrow lane barely wide enough for a car, leads down to a farm in a secluded valley in St Saviour’s, Guernsey. The granite farmhouse has stood here for centuries. A stream cuts through the land, and an ancient green lane winds between the fields.
Peter, now 91, still lives in the house, though he rarely leaves. His prescence marks a continuity in a place where the rhythms of work and family have shifted over time, much like the landscape itself has changed.
The buildings have slipped out of use and softened with age, as nature gently envelops the human imprint and quietly erodes it.
A slow, meditative study over many months has allowed me to observe this silent unravelling, not as an ending but a transition. Nature continues its encroachment without sentiment or attachment: wood becomes soil, metal blooms with oxidation, moss settles over stone.
We may mourn such change, yet these images invite reflection on impermanence as continuity, holding the delicate balance between remembering and forgetting, presence and absence.
This project challenges our instinctive response to decay and transience, reminding us that change is not loss.
Nature does not grieve; it transforms.
