Vast Uncertainty in Australia - Photos & Memories

Not in the print sale as it happens, but No.1 of 5 of this A2 version of my recent image, "Vast Uncertainty" sold today and is now winging it's way to Australia ! This is just the most recent of many of my prints to fly around the world but I still find it amazing to know that my artistic interpretations of this weathery Welsh home are adorning the walls of buildings in places and cultures so far away and so different.

"Vast Uncertainty", Anglesey © Glyn Davies

What do the viewers think about when they study that image of Wales on their wall ? Actual memories, longing, a sense of connection, a warmth about connection, re-affirmation of belonging, cultural identity through a sense of place ? I know that whenever I see an image of Cornwall, where I was raised, I feel very strong connections to the place, history, friends, childhood, even an awareness of different landscape and activities which in all honesty form the foundations for my own identity - but to see an image which triggers such thoughts on the other side of the world!? - Does the vast distance make the thoughts even stronger and more poignant, or are they nothing more than a memory jogger - Vast Uncertainty for sure!

Answers on a postcard please, especially if they are from Australia :-)

Knuckle Rocks, Anglesey, first sale print sold

"Knuckle Rocks" Penmon, Anglesey, is the first sale print to go in today's substantial print sale - Details HERE - Many thanks Emily and I'm delighted you've got the print you really wanted :-)

"Knuckle Rocks" was taken at Trwyn Du, (Penmon Point) back in 2003, when I used to enjoy going there, before it became a blitzed Mecca for a million lighthouse snappers a day! I was more intrigued by the marine erosion of the limestone, the rock forming teeth-like structures, molars gnashing at any boat which dare venture too close. In fact I witnessed just this maybe a decade ago, when a large cruising yacht struck this reef on a bright sunny day in perfect visibility. A clockwork precision abandonment went into operation, raising certain suspicions about yachting and insurance, but it does show how easily these limestone dentures will bite off a keel !

On this huge print, the viewer will also see colonies of tiny barnacles, clinging tenaciously to their eroded rock bed, but I was equally fascinated by the contrast between light & dark, hard & soft, rough & smooth and of course organic & inorganic - the striped man-made lighthouse in the background simply reinforces the visual interplay.

Further copies of "Knuckle Rocks" are still available here on my website at the normal prices.
