A modern art exhibition on display in the west of the Isle of Man aims to explore different perspectives of the Manx landscape. Six 'ways of seeing' at the House of Manannan in Peel features the works of local artists. It includes pieces from Ellie Baker, Sally Black, Helen Faragher, Petrina Kent, Ella Magee, and Ongky Wijana. Manx National Heritage (MNH) curator Nicola Tooms said: "Each artist's body of work shows their own personal reflections of the natural and cultural landscape of the island."
She said by "staging exhibitions that examine and celebrate our natural and cultural heritage", it promoted "Manx identity and community".
An MNH spokeswoman said the exhibition was part of its You Exhibit programme, which "gives artists and community groups the opportunity to propose exhibitions".The exhibition showed the artists' "own unique response to the island through a broad range of media including ink, painting and stone carving".It is on display until 27 April.
