Assembly Members have shown support for Ceredigion artist Eloise Govier's solo exhibition at the Welsh Assembly's Futures Gallery in the Pierhead Cardiff.
The exhibition runs until October 28 and explores energy production, consumption, and disposal in the Welsh Landscape.
An iconic mosaic coracle that considers past industry, 'plastic earth' sculptures highlighting riverine litter embedded in the banks of the River Wye,and oil paintings depicting landfill are some of the highlights on display.
For the exhibition Eloise collaborated with environmental historian Dr Jill Payne who is an expert in energy infrastructure and place.
Joyce Watson AM said: "I am delighted to sponsor this exhibition, which combines striking work with vital themes from this exciting artistic-academic collaboration".
Ceredigion AM, Elin Jones added: " I am really pleased to be at the opening of Eloise Govier's exhibition at the Pierhead. I'm a big fan of her work".
Eloise and Jill's collaboration is timely as Wales makes the vital transition to a low-carbon future, with clear goals to reduce carbon emissions by 2020 and beyond.
Joyce said: “Living in Pembrokeshire, the energy industry has always had a powerful role, not just on the physical landscape but also upon our communities. We are now seeing, alongside our traditional heavy industries, gas storage and shipping, the rise of new energies such as tidal, which I have championed for many years.”
"The exhibition is an excellent opportunity to showcase new ideas and responses to what energy production, and infrastructure, looks like in the contemporary landscape. And with paintings such as my imagined view of Hinkley Point C from Barry island, it's also thinking about the future," said Eloise.
