Digital imaging provides a convenient and surprising way of making images from a variety of sources and processes, as well as the opportunity to present the results of these interactions in a variety of formats.

Drawing, painting, photography, rubbings and scanned sources can be transformed, layered and juxtaposed, then projected, animated or reproduced in printed form.

The subject matter for much of the material here is often dependent on the research interests detailed elsewhere on this site, including medieval history and imaging, traditional Welsh narrative, the landscape and archaeology.

Tanybwlch I, 2002

 

With various other commitments and interests outlined elsewhere on this site, my visual practice has become somewhat intermittent and accumulated the concerns of other projects. This has meant that my ideas are always developing faster than the images themselves, together with the photographic research for these new images. My current preoccupations are mainly focussed on the visual culture of medieval Wales and the western Celtic countries.

The methods of making images often spill over into design work, and there is no clear distinction between images used for exhibitions, installations and graphic design. Bits of images are often recycled and find new contexts, carrying something of their original conception as they travel.
