Swansea: A Viewing

Locws International commissioned me to paint a 8 x 8 foot cube for their 2013 Art Across The City public art festival. My only brief was to be inspired by the local area and I responded by spending time in the city observing people.

During the process four key areas emerged as a “viewing” of the local area: an imagined future, seen and heard, Swansea faces and three words for Swansea. The painted cube was installed for a month in the city centre and we organised a public engagement event with me live painting and children drawing their own future Swansea.
