Dem and Prog 2004
Whereas, Dem and Prog 2003 dealt with features of the urban landscape that were rapidly changing or disappearing (the demolition of the Spillers grain warehouse, Cardiff Boatbuilders, the old Cardiff Yacht Club etc.), Dem and Prog 2004 focussed on the developments that were beginning to take place around Cardiff Bay. In fact the emphasis switched from Demolition to Progress.
Artists Shirley Anne Owen and Geraldus John employed a broad range of media. Also included in the display cases were digital images mounted upon 3D forms with others displayed in handmade books.
Complementing the paintings were a series of poems by Ewart Richards. Closely related to the artworks, they created word pictures in their own right.
His three poems, below, illustrate the awakening of the industrial era that did so much to shape the dock and city of Cardiff. The inclusion of ‘Dowlais Top’, is a reminder that the port depended on the mineral wealth of the surrounding valleys as well as the durability of its people, for its very existence.
