    Eryri 2005

    This was a showreel of short video art films, selected, from a group of videos which were produced for the Zen Gardener exhibition at the Oriel Mostyn and for the exhibition Somewhere Else shown at the Welsh Pavilion at the 51st Venice Biennale. These film works were the latest instalments from an ongoing 20 year investigation, which explores the possibility of ordinary domestic spaces of home and garden as relevant, challenging and contemporary artistic subject matter.
