This is my final post of my artist residency at Plas Mawr. Having the opportunity to spend precious time creating artwork in such an inspiring environment has given me the ability to re- focus my foundations of the practice and the time to explore new media. I was given the opportunity to re-kindle my passion of working with 3D materials and discovering new techniques incorporating textiles. The main focus of the artwork created was centred on the period of the house's history 1830's - 1880's when several families rented tenements mainly in the attic spaces. Also there was a primary school in the great hall, this was the period before the Royal Cambrian Academy took possession of the building till the 1987. The pieces created I hope reflect the personal history's of the inhabitants living within these tenements and there interaction with the building. Several pieces of artwork are installed across this beautiful building also a small exhibition of the artwork at Llandudno library both are installed till the begining of October. Unfortunately during the last week of my residency there was a bereavement, my father passed away. He was a great inspiration and I can only hope he would have approved of the outcomes of my residency.
