Photoworks
West focuses on west Wales and extends work previously undertaken within Gorl(l)ewin which explored the connections between west Wales and Cornwall.

Valleys work such as Monuments to Coal explore the changing face of the south Wales Valleys and the way perceptions of the former coal industry permeated the psyche of its society. Later works such as Powerlines and Outlook respond to less-dominant histories of the Valleys and the historical archives that had been produced by them. Transmissions, Forest and Poles engage with notions of culture, language and globalisation.
