About us
What will the waters of Plymouth Sound look like in the future? In the wake of a global climate catastrophe, can we imagine which creatures will survive and how they will adapt? This new sculpture by artist Sonya Dyer imagines a creature found in Plymouth's waters many centuries from now.
'hybrida composita' is a hybrid sea creature, created by Dyer after she studied The Box's critically endangered and near extinct marine specimens, all of which were collected, documented and preserved by scientists over a century ago.
Dyer's practice explores questions about survival in a future world affected by ecological disaster. 'hybrida composita' features a display case designed to mimic the traditional displays found in the collections, inviting us to think about how museums preserve, catalogue and exhibit the past.
Open 10am-5pm Tuesday-Sunday and selected bank holidays.
