Item details
Born in Cardiff in the early 1970s, I spent my formative years surrounded by arcade machines, comics, TV and cinema; passions that mix happily with my love of tales of folklore, mythology and strange customs. I’m inspired by figurative art, magical surrealism, theatrical lighting, mysterious narratives, and old wives' tales. I incorporate pieces from my collection of antique and vintage vernacular photographs into the work, using traditional and digital techniques in its construction. The piece was inspired by the old Welsh phrase / tradition of “Gwynt traed y meirw”, an easterly wind that was seen as a portent of either the death of a relative, or as a sign of good luck, depending on which bit of folklore you believe, or where you were. It is so named as the wind comes from the east, and bodies were traditionally buried with their feet pointing east.
