Black Mountains imagined
Living close to the Black Mountains, Bannau Brycheiniog and Radnor Hills region, my focus is on walking and responding to these uplands with ink, watercolour and mixed media conjuring imagery inspired by the mountains’ terrain, topography, vegetation and weather, and just being there.
This is an ongoing growing series of work heralded by a large concertina book installation first exhibited as the part of the Telling Book Art Stories exhibition.
“See this layered sandstone in the short mountain grass. Place your right hand on it, palm downward. See where the summer sun rises and where it stands at noon. Direct your index finger midway between them. Spread your fingers, not widely. You now hold this place in your hand."
Raymond Williams
