Celestial Crossings - completed!

Last September I blipped the new mural  on our Theatr Gwaun. Beautifully rendered in midnight blue and gold, it featured a multitude of connections between the land and the sea as experienced by our coastal community across the ages: fishers and mariners, saints and  pirates, travellers and tourists, along with folklore, art and music-making, and the wild life of the coastal waters. 

A key of twenty symbols represents each topic  referenced in the mural (many images being inspired by local children's input). I was asked to write a brief paragraph on each for a booklet entitled "Celestial Crossings, the stories behind the mural."  It was quite an undertaking but by a miracle of condensation I managed to keep the word count down to the required length and off it went to the Welsh translator and the printer. That was a few weeks ago but today the finished product reached my hands, and a very attractive item it is. Free of charge too - as was my labour!



Out of respect I should acknowledge the sponsors and funders of the mural project which has been a big boost for our cultural scene.
