My installation ‘The Road to New York’ opened at g39, Cardiff on 10 April and will reopen at Oriel y Parc, St Davids on 12 August. The installation features a flying kayak, five metres in length, constructed from sheets of clear casting resin embedded with translucent cigarette lighters combed from Pembrokeshire beaches, which has then been suspended on wires and spotlit. The project was supported by the Arts Council of Wales.
