Working with heavier paints led to a consideration of depth in art, literally. These sculptures, or perhaps more accurately bas-reliefs, were at first modelled in clay then cast in plaster and painted. More recent scenes (at the top) are mixed media. They are loosely based on scenes in South Wales. Many have lights fitted, as you can see.
