Pegwn 2025. Anastomoses

A very special experience to be on this residential programme hosted and devised by PEAK Cymru and
their guest curator, singer and poet Casi Wyn.

Four days in the Black Mountains, July, 2025, focusing on themes of connection, inspired by Casi’s
ideas of language as a tool for rooting into place – whilst uprooting the imagination.. With conversations,
walks and tailored workshops hosted by guest contributors, the programme was held in a multi-lingual
space, led primarily in Welsh.

See https://www.peakcymru.org/pegwn for full details of contributors, participants and the over-arching
metaphor of anastomoses as a system of unexpected patterns, divergencies and connections.

Rogue Residency

A month’s residency through September with Manchester’s Rogue Artists’ Studios to dig into the role of video
in collaborative live art performance – and how this might connect with live performance to camera.

The residency will be a chance for on-the-job training and professional development: reviewing material I’ve
been working on this year and testing it out with new partners in new environments, linking in with some of
Rogue’s 90+ studio artists and with performers and video artists through Company Chameleon‘s Art Lab / Jam OPEN FLOOR X TEST CARD.

An important part of the residency will be the input of mentors and critical friends in Manchester and Wales –  supporting development of my creative practice but also potential wider benefits through links and exchanges between Wales / Manchester arts communities. Read more about it here. Warm thanks to support from:

SCORE at Experimentica

11 Apr 2024 at Chapter, Cardiff CF5 1QE.
SCORE will delve into an exploration of performativity and play within the Welsh context in a
new site-specific commission’.

It’s been a real pleasure to develop work with SCORE on Maes Chwarae over the last few months.
Here are 2 images of my video and projection made as part of experimental preparation for our performance
– the first showing Rob Oros and the second Tim Martin-Jones.

 

SCORE Experimentica artists are: Beth Greenhalgh, Tess Wood, Vivian Ross-Smith, Tessa Waite, Iona Hannagan Lewis, Lewis Prosser, Tim Martin-Jones, Rob Oros, Penny Hallas.
‘SCORE is a pulsating slime of oddballs and artists from across Wales. Devised in 2022 as a provocation to explore ‘live-ness’ and performativity within the Welsh context, SCORE is a curious constellation of energies and aspirations, constantly reshaping and redefining the boundaries of its own creative expression. Central to the group’s method is a thirst for playfulness, collaboration, co-authorship, grit, tenderness, the ephemeral, and the ‘live’. Working together to perform in the face of the unknown’.

MYRIORAMA

10 Feb – 6 May 2024 Gallery 2, Aberystwyth Arts Centre.
17 Mar 2-4pm. Artist talk with Alan Bowring, geologist and Geopark Officer.
Celebrating the bicentenary of the myriorama.

200 years ago J.H. Clark and S. Leigh created a game to tap into a new craze sweeping Europe.
Meaning ‘many views’, their Myriorama was a set of 16 illustrated cards that could be rearranged to create
a near-endless variety of cohesive scenes. Long before cinema this was seen as a fine amusement for all
the family. I use but subvert the Myriorama’s idealised picturesque aesthetic, combining and intermingling narratives, deliberately introducing elements of dissonance and misfit as a way of extending conversations
about how we perceive and value the land in a time of environmental crisis.
