Artist's Comments

Swansea. Home of the DVLA, and um ... swans? No, its real name is Abertawe anyway, although it is home of the DVLA, who know all our secrets... Um... Home of a freaky Silent Hill style shopping mall? Bombed in the war? Home of a ruined castle that shows no attempt to promote it? Home of a multistorey carpark with very low ceilings and a lift that stinks of urine? That's true.

Maybe I'm misjudging the place. I only spent a few hours there. I'm sure it's lovely... Really...

Home of hot pigeons in need of a bath. Yes!

There's a pleasant open area with pleasant fountains and pleasant waterfalls tumbling down stone steps, and a huge Big Brother style screen playing BBC news at the side of it. And pigeons, bathing in the water.

And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts."
