Renee bracknell and other foundation students from the university of sussex collected rubbish along the beach in brighton and hove. From the collected material they created a peice of art at the meeting house on the university campus. The aim was to highlight important ecological issues around the impact humans have on the environment.

The art work will be temporarily in the gallery and then moved into the museum.

The Fishing quarter has available slots for hire.
