  • Morwenna Morrison CV
    MORWENNA MORRISON Arusha Gallery | [email protected] | 0131 557 1412 BIOGRAPHY Morwenna Morrison's predominantly oil on canvas works draw influence from a carefully curated collage of archival images. Morrison explains her work as being ‘an analysis of today’s social, psychological and political issues, set within historical context’. Taking as a base the salubrious works of historical landscape painting, the artist interweaves contemporary consumerist images into her painting. In doing so, the viewer is invited to nostalgically embrace the cultural mythos of the classical, neo-classical or Romantic. Morrison establishes a sort of narrative continuum between a world of commercial flight and the colonial verandas of the 19th century (‘n Infinite Summer), presenting her new historicism in beautiful, aesthetic calmness. Morwenna Morrison is based in Penzance. A graduate of the Exeter College of Art and Design’s Fine Art programme (1988), she has exhibited extensively across the UK as both a solo artist and a contributor to group shows.

  • The Geology of Penlee Quarry, Cornwall, Its Impact on Previous Quarrying and Future Use
    The geology of Penlee Quarry, Cornwall, its impact on previous quarrying and future use THE GEOLOGY OF PENLEE QUARRY, CORNWALL, ITS IMPACT ON PREVIOUS QUARRYING AND FUTURE USE 1 2 P.W. S COTT AND G. W ALTON 1 Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter, Cornwall Campus, Tremough, Penryn, Cornwall TR10 9EZ. 2 PGW&A LLP, Griffin House, Market Street, Charlbury, Oxon, OX7 3PJ and University of Leeds ABSTRACT Penlee is a large coastal quarry. It comprises mainly a dolerite altered by low grade metamorphism with minor Upper Devonian Mylor Slates, all within the aureole of the Lands End Granite. It contains also two distinct phases of later base metal mineralisation. The quarry is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its mineralisation and several of these features are suitable for conservation. Quarry development started in the late 1880s at the northern end as a hillside operation advancing to the west and subsequently south. The impact of geological features and related geotechnical constraints have had a significant affect on subsequent quarry development. The rock has a high density and for England, an exceptionally high compressive strength. Workings ceased in the early 1990s due to a combination of problems relating to access and transport and to its unsuitability for road surfacing owing to its low PSV. In 1999, planning permission was obtained for revised conditions that permitted the further extraction of 28Mt of rock extending to a depth of 100m below sea level. In practice, constraints arising from meeting the requirements of the Quarry Regulations 1999, mean that little of this tonnage is recoverable.
