Merthyr Farm

"In my work I have always focused on the rhythms and energy of the city so the experience of focusing on the scenery in and around Harlech was very intense and particularly so when I was filming sheep and dogs on the tops in Harlech. "

By drawing into a projected video I aimed to track the particular nature of the animals movement as well as describe an expression which was there only momentarily. Working alongside the other artists I fully appreciated that the actual process of making this work and experiencing something about the nature of darting dogs and flowing sheep is of key importance. With this in mind, I invited those who visited on private view nights to experience drawing into video.

A special thank you to Caerwyn, Bryn and Bette Roberts of Merthyr Farm."
