Exhibition of art produced by children from schools in teh City and County of Swansea at the Centre for Child Research, Swansea University.
The exhibition includes work produced by children at St. Josephs Primary in Clydach when they worked with me on “Shrines”. We made environmental sculptures that inspired paintings. These works were first shown at Ponterdawe Arts Centre in July 2007.

The exhibition is in the Corridor Gallery. The show was opened by Mary LLoyd Jones.

I have been awarded a small project grant from Arts Council of Wales to make work about ‘Selkies’ or “Silkies” - the mythical Seal people. The title is Shedding Skins.
I am undertaking a Celtic Pilgrimage to draw and film work done in situ on Ynys Enlli (Wales), in the Hebrides (Scotland), in Donegal (Ireland) and Cornwall. I will also seek out traditional musicians and storytellers and collect the stories (in Welsh, Gaelic and Cornish as well as English) and music, then collate it all into a film combining contemporary drawing with traditional tales and music. This piece should be done by October 2008.

Itinery so far:
26 - 31 May: Hebrides/ Donegal/ Cornwall
14-21st June: Ynys Enlli (Bardsey Island)
7 - 12 July: Hebrides/ Donegal/ Cornwall
4 - 9 August: Cornwall/ Ireland/ Hebrides
