I’m finally getting to grips with the lino blocks of text I started back at the beginning of lockdown 2020. I’m making mask shapes out of cotton and printing them with the words and phrases I carved into lino, reflecting my feelings and observations over the period. But these are not masks. They are NOT PPE. They are artworks and they will be exhibited in “Pitchfork” at The Workers Gallery in Ynyshir from April 7th.
The Workers is a fab gallery, in a tiny village in the Rhondda Valley in South Wales. It’s run by artists Gayle Rogers and Chris Williams and unlike many galleries that intimidate and exclude, The Workers is a loved part of the local community. Give it a go. It’s a lovely area to visit anyway.


They don’t like it up ’em !
