This blog post marks a transition point in my work. Not because I am exactly restarting work (I continued working, even increased my work rate \/ productivity during and after the Covid lockdown) but rather because my PhD is naturally heading into its final public phase. I am about to complete 3 \/4 years working on the PhD, which followed on from an MA and before this teacher training. Prior to this, moving to Wales, meeting my wife, and a dozen years working in the photographic industry. In short, this moment in time marks a point where I can turn my attention squarely to making artwork hopefully moving my arts and teaching careers forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The focus of this new push will be the completion of the PhD project (which I will include on this website), and this will culminate at a final solo show at Aberystwyth School of Art in Oct \/ Nov 2023. The completion of this project will be a very public act – I need to go and work publicly in Liverpool with my photography, meet with various people at locations across Wales, and undertake research at Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru \/ The National Library of Wales. I am hoping that on the back of this I can exhibit this project at other locations in Wales and on the English \/ Welsh borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been several offshoot projects of both the PhD and MA that over the next couple of years I hope to fully realise, and I am also looking to make public my photographic archive which I have built up without exhibiting over the last 25 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of the above between autumn 2022 and the summer of 2024 I am looking to increase my public profile. In the next few months anyone who views this website should see content moving around. There will be a new \u2018art projects\u2019 page \u2013 with all my recent \/ and archived work listed, a list of my exhibitions, and more regular blog posts. There should also be new links to my social media and academic pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do check back over this period and please excuse any links that do not work or content that does not look complete, such issues are likely to be temporary. I am hoping that most of the large updates should be complete by Christmas 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a start I am going to post here a couple of images for a recent (August 2022) local exhibition that I was involved with. The group exhibition \u2018Art at Waunifor\u2019 has run over the 14 years at The Waunifor Centre in south Ceredigion. This was the second time that I have been involved and I was glad to be invited back. The work I exhibited here was of local natural history \/ wildlife and general historical photography. For more information on the show, artists and Waunifor see: Artists – Art at Waunifor<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
