The first work in this series looks at the tidal trace captured whilst walking on the eve of a full moon.

This work is resolved using local unspun fleece and Irish linen.

Borth to Ynyslas was first shown as a ‘work in progress’ at my exhibition Phases an exploration of moon and weather. Eleven completed deck chairs were exhibited. The completed work will consist of 46 deckchairs.

The image on the back wall of the single chair are captures of Borth Forest taken whilst I was on my walk.

It is an assumption by many that it is always wet in Wales. To question this notion I worked with rainfall data recorded by the Met Office weather station located in Aberdyfi, Ceredigion. Weather data has been recorded at this station since in January 1941. Each individual weave represents a year and each month is represented by its own colour.The years are collated into decades and hung vertically illustrating the variations in rainfall between the months, years and decades.

The wool used for this tapestry is ethically sourced British wool and dyed at a mill on the Scottish Border

I am on a search for a ‘mythical land’ or is it mythical? Evidence lies around the intertidal zone of a long lost forest. How far does this forest extend into Cardigan Bay? There is land but is it Cantre’r Gwaelod? My search looks into the past whilst observing current weather patterns and the effect of any future rise in tides. Will our current coastal area in the distant future become part of this mythical land?

The maps are machine sewn onto Welsh Flannel and use the four colour mapping system.
