Artist Statement:
Paul Moorhouse in an essay
about the work of Terry Setch
says -

Setch's art has developed as a
means of expressing his
relationship with the beach

particular the processes of
metamorphosis which are
evident in the landscape. Such
changes may be sudden and
transient. For example, when
rain or mist dissolve the
view. Other transformations in
the landscape are more

together. Its appearance
records the perpetual dialogue
between earth and water. The
sea erodes the headland which
spills its shattered masses
onto the beach. These mingle
with man-made rubbish washed
up by the tide. All kinds of
objects are visible: tangles
of fishing line; plastic
bottles and bags; bits of
furniture, clothing and
carpet; fragments of
push-chairs and cookers; even
rusting car bodies which have
been pushed over the edge of
the headland. As a result of
weathering these synthetic
