EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from April 1991, we witness a remarkable collaboration between Polkerris artist Mike Kerris and Robert Hicks, the Member of Parliament for SE Cornwall. The image showcases an awe-inspiring 100-foot canvas adorned with breathtaking Cornish scenes, meticulously crafted by the talented artist. As the camera captures this momentous occasion, we see Robert Hicks standing on the left side of the frame, extending his helping hand to assist Mike Kerris in completing his masterpiece. The canvas itself is divided into 26 separate pictures that depict various aspects of Cornwall's beauty and charm. This extraordinary work of art serves a noble purpose beyond its aesthetic appeal. It is intended to be cut up and sold to raise funds for two important causes: the Romanian Orphanages Appeal and Mount Edgcumbe Hospice. By supporting these charitable endeavors, both artists aim to make a positive impact on their community and extend their compassion far beyond Polkerris' borders. The significance of this event is further emphasized as Robert Hicks draws the first two lottery tickets during its unveiling ceremony. These lucky tickets were won by Sam Robins from Polkerris and John Ferguson from St Austell – individuals who will forever cherish their connection to this unique artistic endeavor. Captured through Jonathan Barker's lens, this photograph immortalizes not only an incredible collaboration but also highlights the power of art in bringing people together for a greater cause.
