About Us

At the heart of Sea Like a Mirror, is a newly commissioned artwork, White Horses, by Ivan Morison, from the collaborative practice of Heather Peak and Ivan Morison. Commissioned to mark the 200th anniversary of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI), it is inspired by the profound legacy of their life-saving work and the special status its volunteer crews occupy in the collective consciousness of our island nation.

This travelling work, housed within a unique, custom-made sculptural tent will be installed on the seafront, immersing audiences in the stories of RNLI crew and local people from around our coastline. Within this structure, Ivan's new work, White Horses, will be screened using 16mm projection and accompanied by a musical score, presenting a multifaceted portrait of the sea and the nation's coastal towns, bringing together six diverse locations, each linked by the lifeboat station at the centre of their community.

Produced through a series of visits to lifeboat stations and seaside towns around the coastline, and in close collaboration with those who hold a deep connection to the water, the work explores the sea's innate duality as a place of wonder and peril, and the myriad roles it plays for coastal communities.
