It’s #StandingStoneSunday on t’Internet today and here’s a view of the magnificent monument Pentre Ifan in Pembrokeshire. I drew it in ink and soft pastels onto a rough Khadi handmade paper. You can read more about my field trip here.
This short film from Cadw Wales shows how Pentre Ifan probably looked like when it was first built, surprisingly covered in, the stones we see now may have been just the skeleton of an even larger monument.
I did this when I was travelling across South Wales with pre-historian Dewi Bowen and filmmaker Melvyn Williams, making art while Dewi researched his soon-to-be-published new book, featuring the tale of Y Twrch Trwyth (The Boar Hunt) from the Mabinogion.
