This week, DAUR has been generously held by

We have been welcomed into a home from home at Nyth in North Wales. A place where ideas do not just arrive, they take root, they seed, they begin to hatch.

We have been walking across mountains and through ancient sites, listening.

In the company of Welsh witches, druids and wild men, real, imagined and remembered. Letting the landscape speak and allowing myth to rise up through the soil and into the work.

New stories are beginning here. New myths, half formed and half whispered, are starting to find their shape.

A huge and heartfelt thank you to all the team at for the space, the care, the invitation and the fire. With special thanks to and for sharing this special place.

“Myths are untruths that exist to reveal truth”
