Of the valley of the Crow, 2009, Wales.













Forward is a state of mind, where, who perceives, perceived to have moved from point a to C.
C is also for Cwmbran, meaning in Welch, Valley of the Crow. If you ever think you want to do some shopping in one of the 11 New towns of post 2nd World war Britain, you will find plenty of choice. In my view if you are a South Wales habitant, it might be a burst of new air. Away from all the sheep and hedged fields.
A city as Cwmbran does not seem very strange, apart from the style, which could be, and always can be different.
Athens, was planned, Paris was planned Berlin wItalicas planned, New York was planned, cities do have this tendency.
Some could say it is a mirror of the will of the hand that executes, or that as been told to execute, since some other ideas of city, of growth of needs, also exist.
This project emerged from the opportunity to have a go at studding such premium Landscape.
To walk around and losing myself in its veins.
I can say there are beautiful aspects to this space and some that are to disturbing.
The Photographs tell, just spend some time with them. I think you are going to like them.
