So here we are… I feel like I have been away for a long time, life and stuff like that! I have been working away in the background on a few projects. I would like to thank Conwy Creadigol for providing funding to do my workshops with the Fabulous mentor Ceri Hand. We realised early on that my website was definitely the best starting point to get sorted over the six sessions. So in the…

  In times of austerity councils like to take large a chunk of cash for condemning what they call derelict houses. They have done it with many parts of Liverpool now. Edge lane, parts of Anfield and Smithdown Road to name a few! Many of the terraces have gone but ls left is dystopian with all street signs removed and a feel of 1984 However in Croxteth Princess park area are the “Welsh Streets”…

Dont want to go back. Walk in the ashes of covid. Alone I prosper.

“Looking up” was my response to a constant fear of heights. The 10 images where taken in a way to disorientate. Looking up at he walls and vantage points. The work was installed in Caernarfon Castle as part of a IPP Stamp funded ACW Project

Pil Box, One Mile Radius, Oriel Mostyn

I was invited to put work into Mostyn Gallery, Llandudno. The work approached makers in a one mile radius of the Gallery. So sat amongst a great collection of makers from Home made Large format cameras, Painters to Cake Makers. It was a eclectic mix. My work featured was taken in Sicily a few years ago as part of a Residency I was part of. The work was never shown and has been somewhat nomadic in…

Artist in Residence, Metal, Southend 2017 (Winter)

In December 2017 I took part in my first section of a Residency at Metal in Southend. I proposed the Idea of Pier to Peer. Coming from Llandudno were we have the longest Pier in Wales To Southend’s longest pier in Britain. This was set in stone but on arrival and trip through London I become captivated by the power of the Themes Estuary. 

The pinnacle… Follow the lights and you will find the gold. A Severn wind rattles the soul, Rain like pins my face a cushion. Edifice a vision, wooden windows a fact, a collection of faces glued in community, Now divided again by scheme-funded foolery. To escape is to renounce Only with strength comes intrinsically. As thrust upon pages turn, A dying side street lives on the ensign of principality!
