Y Gwir yn Erbyn y Byd
These were posted around Hwlffordd/Haverfordwest during October 2016, the other side of the poster was seen posted the day after the dance. I danced at different sites around the town and through dancing made a reacquaintence with the place. Hwlffordd/Haverfordwest is a place that I visited as a child when visiting my uncle John, who lived in Abergwaun/Fishguard. This reconnection with myself as a child brought me to new understanding of the way I can make work about landscape. By this I mean dancing and also the material that has entered my work through dancing.
I have become interested in the non-human world and how this can inform the way I see landscape. This is a way of collapsing the polarity of country and city and seeing the world as a continuum of experience. It is also a way of imagining other worlds that are inclusive of all life.
The video was captured by penny d. jones. The performance was a live affair and penny kindly videoed the event as a record rather than the video being an artwork. The music is by Andrew Strong and is an arrangement of a traditional Morris tune Ilbury Hill.
