I graduated from Cardiff UWIC in 2007, where I studied fine art. The work that’s on show is work that I have produced in the last two years. I enjoy looking at a wide range of artists, from Guston to Goya. I also have a fondness for literature and films. I see my work as the final image of encounters and reactions that I’ve had, or am ever going to have. Therefore, I rely heavily on my imagination, and memories. With these tools I’m able to construct a piece of work that is highly personel and corresponds to what I surround myself with.

Bocs has been invited to stage the “graffitti box” project, which was conjured up for the official opening of Castle Square in Caernarfon, at the opening of the National Eisteddfod in Y Bala on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd August.

Most people visiting Caernarfon last week would have seen dozens of children enjoying painting and drawing alongside the artists on our huge 6ft white box. The theme in Y Bala will be “Gwynedd on the Box” and, after the artists have completed their artwork, visitors to the Gwynedd Pavilion will be invited to add their own touches to the box.

There will also be a video displaying of the current work on show now in Oriel Dafydd Hardy until August and other Bocs artwork and events.

Bedwyr Williams was kind enough to open the exhibition for us with an inspiring speech, whilst Ioan Thomas launched our bocs co-operative with a pop of the champagne cork.
