Artist's new work for Marine Park

COMMISSION PART OF CULTURAL PROJECT

- By KATIE TIMMS

AN internationally renowned artist and filmmaker is to create a major new commission for Plymouth as part of Sea for Yourself the city's cultural programme that will use art and digital innovation to connect people with the UK's first National Marine Park.

David Cotterrell has been commissioned to develop an exciting new work in Plymouth that will unfold across multiple sites and digital platforms throughout the city.

His past projects include a mysterious 'geyser' in a city suburb, films exploring trauma and memory and a data-driven public sculpture connected to legal recognition of the rights of bodies of water as 'living entities'.

The four-year Sea for Yourself programme will use art, storytelling and digital innovation to reconnect people with the ocean. It is linked to Plymouth Sound National Marine Park, which was created to forge a new relationship between the city, its communities and the sea.
