Village Halls


































Village Halls is the pilot project by Site Sit

I was invited by Lauren Heckler and Sophie Lindsey, along with Tanya Griffiths and Cerys Thomas-Ford, to make new site-specific work in Llansteffan, Wales. Our exhibition opens on April 10th in Llansteffan's Memorial Hall.

The Sounds & Silences of Llansteffan


First development weekend in Llansteffan for Village Halls, the pilot project by Site Sit, was amazing. Llansteffan is such a wonderful place.

The turn-around for this work is quick. The exhibition in Llansteffan opens in just over three weeks time. I have a project plan in place and it should hopefully be completed after the second visit this weekend. Interestingly, it is currently a sound work. I've taken pictures but I don't plan on using them - which is a first. I'm thinking about the post-industrial silence that has fallen on the village.

Above you can hear an extract from a tour given by Eiluned Ress, local resident and member of the history society, who is amazing. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of the village and surrounding area.
