'Grazing Slateland', a major commission and book publication, reords the affects of the slate industry on the north Wales landscape.
Like coal in the south, slate played an integral part in the development of communities around a rich mineral resource. But as the industry declined, the scars remained on the landscape.
This commission was a fantastic opportunity to walk the hills and mountains of the Snowdonia region. I enjoyed researching the project and learning of the difficult conditions men worked in.
