Pagan Paths
The genre of photography that I’m drawn to is landscape and have always been interested in the unique Welsh culture and history. My current project’s aim is to create a collection of landscape images that will help develop an understanding, respect and appreciation of these values.
My images document and explore Welsh heritage landscapes, particularly those that leave traces from the early Pagan community. I aim to inspire and encourage new conversations about the history of Wales using both documentary style images and more experimental cyanotype prints.
My project is called ‘Pagan Paths leading to Ancient Historical Welsh Landscapes’, which will be in the format of a book of monochrome documentary style photographs of the various locations I have visited which links our Pagan past and heritage. Alongside this a series of cyanotypes merge landscape and objects to signify and reveal the history and remnants of Pagan culture, using the symbolic elements of nature, captured within ancient historical Welsh landscape imagery.
