Digital Images

In the process of making several sets of images for the installation Math son of Mathonwy in 1995, I created a digital animation principally from a series of drawings manipulated in Photoshop. Further images created in a similar way quickly assumed a life of their own, individually and as series of images, as well as further animations for installations.

Increasingly the images have begun to incorporate other kinds of source material, such as drawings, photographs and scanned images and texts. Often, as with the series of images developed as part of work on the Lives of the Saints, these digital collages were a means of suggesting narrative and historical process.

These images were from a series of three commissioned to illustrate the work of one of the most distinctive Welsh poets of the middle ages. Sion Cent was severe in his condemnation of the Welsh nobility but offered hope for the poor, following the teaching of Christ from the Gospels.

The images make use of medieval carving and wall painting, as well as incorporating early transcripts of the poems.
