Life Begins Outside The Box

Glorious Saturday 13th June

Last saturday was a lovely day at Llantarnum Grange Arts Center with three Exhibitions opening

The first exhibition to open was the Van Gogh Exhibition originally on display at The Millenium Center last year alongside Van Gogh Immersive Experience.

My picture was on show and below is a photo of me alongside it in the cafe.

In the spring Sophie, an art lecturer at Cardiff Metropolitan University, won the commision to design a new bill board which is located on the end of Llantarnum Grange’s building . Working with different groups she created a dreamy tableau from the objects we brought in. The theme revolved around objects that were linked to special memeories. I brought in a mum ring that my daughters gave me when my marriage ended, a heart shaped lavender bag, a National Service broach that was my fathers and a large thimble shaped pot, which reminded me of my nan. She was a seamstress.

Below are some photos of the new billboard and some of the people involved
