​Welcome to Paradise | Bodfa Continuum

Welcome to Paradise is a silent, visual essay drifting in and out of time through the relations of space and the past lives of Plas Bodfa. It draws from residual memory - archived or imagined; projected layers carry time through embodied thresholds, and verses conjure voices from missing pieces, gaps and intervals.

​Welcome to Paradise was part of Bodfa Continuum at Plas Bodfa, Llangoed, Anglesey April 2022.

Bodfa Continuum - the possibilities of time
History, storytelling and contemporary art collide in this fusion exhibition occupying the entirety of Plas Bodfa, a manor house on Anglesey in North Wales.  The immersive exhibition exists in the space between fiction and non-fiction, real and imagined, yesterday and tomorrow.   Read more Bodfa Continuum

Welcome to Paradise

II Stairs
 
They did not ring ahead,
we had no notice, no warning,
no lantern to light the way;
no angel in the doorway at dead of night. 
We are broken, her voice is lost.
 
Sidney Mary Hughes died suddenly
