“Different parts of the ocean contained different sorts of stories, and as all the stories that had ever been told and many others that were still in the process of being invented could be found here, the ocean of the streams of story was in fact the biggest library in the universe. And because the stories were held here in fluid form, they retained the ability to change, to beome new versions of themselves, to join up with other stories and so become yet other stories; so that unlike a library of books, the ocean of story was much more than a store room of yarns. It was not dead but alive”
(Salman Rushdie, Haroun and the Sea of Stories, 1990)

Stages in the collaborative process mirror those of the lower high street development. The space is examined, ideas projected and a stage dressed. The collaborative project (and with it the Meantime building) closes in anticipation. What will come next?

MEANTIME Project Space: Lower High Street Archive Project
This is the first time that both artists have undertaken a collaborative project. The project aims to bring together visual references ‘drawn’ from the historic buildings that once stood on the lower high street with physical forms of the soon to be lost Modernist building. Taking as its focus the lower high street as ‘market place’, originally accessed via ornate archways and currently finding shelter beneath a concrete projection, the project highlights the ‘opening up’ of the ‘market place’ in Phase II of the Brewery development and what impact that might have on a sense of place.
sketch book: from Aberafron to Trevor
17/08 walking from Aberafron to Trevor, giant slabs of concrete with embedded shingle, stones and steel re-bar, shaped and softened to seaweed. On the cliff face ‘fairy chimney’ crevices – shelters for swallows from ejected rock. A hanging fence of wood posts strung with wire marks the change in land mass by its movement, swaying in time to the waves. Squares of concrete sit on the edge of shallow water, water seeping into their doorways – erosion defences turned ‘look-outs’ assuming the temporary position of rest.
