Enjoyed working on 'Fingers of Land ' an extraordinary new piece by Jon Gower for 'Ar Ymyl y Tir' On Land's Edge. Working with Tim Wickenden we put together a film which roughly co-odinated with the spoken words.
The work
used words to describe Fishguard, and Goodwick, it's landscape, it's
history, both ancient and modern through lyrical poetry and drama which
echoed the grandeur and familiarity of the place.
This was
part of a new Festival which is hoped to run in future years using
local voices, talents and skills. More about can be found on the Theatr
Gwaun website.
Concurrently with it and until October 9th Fishguard Arts Society put
on an exhibition of paintings and photographs which reflected the theme.

One
of my delights has been walking the Wales Coast Path from Pembrokeshire
to Chepstow, very slowly week after week, except when I was in
Mexico and India. The walk was driven by my lover and friend Clive Jones, who had
already walked the top part from Deeside.
The
walk, through varied landscapes and the difficulties we encountered,
finding routes and time opened up for us more of the beauty and
diversity of Wales.

Castell Talacharn
Putting
figures into landscapes was one way forward for me to recognise the
loss of human contact I was feeling during the months of isolation
we have experienced. Below are a selection of Life drawing figures pasted into an empty Fishguard...and a drunken Dylan Thomas
