Trace and Transience exhibition at Triangle Gallery, Chelsea College of Art and Design, London from 5 to 16 May 2009 includes photography, video and painting from Land/Water and the Visual Arts; a reciprocal research collaboration between University of the Arts London and the University of Plymouth. The exhibition at Chelsea follows Between Land and Sea held at Peninsula Arts Gallery, University of Plymouth, 2008.

Originally commissioned by The Centre for Contemporary Art and the Natural World, Trace and Transience brings together work by ten artists who variously trace aspects of the rural environment, exploring everyday change and flux. Whilst imagery is characterised by individual concerns and the visual style of each artist, pre-occupation with the transience of nature and our relationship to it lends coherence and invites us to consider artistic method and aesthetics as well as reflecting upon the phenomenological.

Artists featured are: Caroline Burke, Christopher Cook, Susan Derges, Andy Klunder, Heidi Morstang, Liz Nicol, Kayla Parker, Jem Southam, Steve Thorpe and Stephen Vaughan.
