A suite of projects with Mike Pearson 1993 - 2001
Many of these focused on Esgair Fraith, a ruin of a farm in the uplands of west Wales. The question – how to represent place. This grew into a project of deep-mapping. This in the context of a range of historiographical questions that interest us.
West Wales has also featured in The Three Landscapes Project.
With theatre/archaeology as the '(re)articulation of fragments of the past as real time event', we were very interested in the performed lecture as a medium.
For my reworking of the story of Sarah Jacob, see Three Rooms.
