"It was a whim, a sudden urge at 9pm to drive to the west coast, when I could have just stayed at home with a gin. The late evening sunshine was already being curtained by dark clouds approaching from the horizon. A week before l'd been snorkelling here, fascinated by the sea creatures in narrow gullies of serrated rock. Tonight was different, no sunny warmth, no dancing sunbeams in the watery depths - just me and the church on a stony island.
Beneath thickening clouds the sea was coming in rapidly, surging its way into the rocky shoreline crevices. I set off for the church across the small bay and noticed The path-marking boulders leading across the sharp causeway to the 13th century Anglican Church slowly disappeared below creeping rising tide. The gentlest pink of minutes before washed into the ocean to be replaced by the coolest blue and then black. The light on the church is from a single cloud reflecting the dying light of day”
The 13th Century, Anglican, Eglwys Cwyfan (St Cwyfan's Church), not far from the small village of Aberffraw on Anglesey's West coast, at one time stood on the mainland coast but over the years, the sea has eroded the surrounding land leaving it stranded on it's own little island. Services are still occasionally held here but times are tide dependent.

ABOUT THE PRINTS:
Glyn's prints are all produced on soft-textured, archival cotton-rag paper, using archival pigment inks. The manufacturer's estimated lifespan for these prints is over 200 years when behind glass & viewed under artificial lighting.
Each print is signed & titled by the artist, and the editioned prints are obviously numbered as well. Glyn limit's his print editions to short quantities, so you are purchasing much rarer artworks than the mass-produced prints seen in furniture & home stores.
Editions range from 3 to 30 copies in the A2 & A1 size, and just 5 copies in the A0 size.
