Alan Whitfield Blinc Artist of the Day!
Alan Whitfield is our Artist of the day today.Last year he created the poetic verse as part of his projection with Photernative.
This year he wanted to create a series of semi autobiographical poems about someone developing a love for the
walls inside Conwy. The viewer is encouraged to engage with a series of light and sound scapes in homage to film noir era.
The focus of his piece will be on The Cob in Conwy and will consist of a series of sound showers. He aims to encourage the viewer to record their response through the use of social media #noirconwy whilst engaging with his words. It’s an interactive piece, so make sure you don’t miss it!

Wendy Dawson
Wendy Leah Dawson is a metal artist whose work is inspired by antiquity, mechanisms, and the human urge to invent. Objects are dismantled, studied and dissected, pieces are removed and categorised, recreated and incorporated into other objects. Her work brings together traditional craft skills, influenced by her upbringing amidst the family trades of clockmaking and dressmaking, and the application of modern technology seen in rapid prototyping, 3D scanning and the use of digital tools in the creative process. She was recently introduced 3D stop-motion animation and projection, which has transformed her working practice, introducing thoughts about interactivity and visualising movement, and is currently exploring the manipulation and recording of her work using these processes.

Artists Chris Bird and Vivienne Rickman Poole have embarked on a collaborative film

across deep open water in wild places.
The lakes, rivers and coastal areas of Conwy have long been a source of both recreation
and artistic inspiration for both Chris and Viv
