Anglesey

Anglesey, 1995

Despite trying to post in sequence and show development of the print making work from my 2nd year at loughborough, i find myself at a bit of a loss in terms of documentation and therefore i need to digging deeper into portfolios and perhaps even shoot some new photos of old work.

In the meantime this is a photo taken on the bleak northern coast of Anglesey. I think it was my third time to Anglesey, having been there twice while at Shelly High School. LCAD took 40 or so brave souls up there for a week of drawing from the landscape and literally being blown off the cliff faces. i think it was meant to be a sculpture trip, Paul Gent and i tagged along for the ride with a few other painters. i forget exactly when we were there but i know it was fairly nice that week in L’boro and suitably shitty on Anglesey. It’s a barren, windswept place, that the RAF seems to like using for low level practice flights. I always enjoyed trips the island and we had a whale of a time up there making drawings, hiking to kwik save for cheap wine and other such hijinks.
