“Folklore and hearsay fascinate me, how the myths and legends of the past affect our world today. I love telling stories that hover somewhere in the hinterland between fact and fantasy, whilst scratching at the surface of a truth. My main modes of expression are writing and photography. I also draw and explore ‘objet-avec-courte-histoire’.
“In this exhibition I have selected recent works that consider the differences between intended meanings and interpretations. This is a continuing exploration of poetic landscapes, both real and imagined, searching for common-ground for writing and visual art to cohabit.”
Remy is a local artist and author of a dozen published books and more than fifty features in national newspapers and magazines. He is also a Lead Creative Schools Agent for the Arts Council of Wales, a story-teller, lecturer on art and folklore, and hosts creative workshops.
