Artwork description:
Llanddwyn is a tidal island, on the southern shore of Anglesey. The peninsula is only cut off at the highest of tides. Most of the time it is accessible by the mainland.
One of the towers, Twr Mawr was adapted from one of the towers, and a light was established on 1st February 1846. Its shape indicates that it may originally have served as a windmill, later modified to be used as a lighthouse.
Originally lit using six Argand lamps with reflectors, Twr Mawr was lit using a Fresnel lens from 1861 until 1975. Unusually, the light was displayed from the bottom of the tower, with the building providing accommodation for the keepers.
Wild ponies are free to roam on the island and nearby forrest.
Materials used:
Giclée print using pigment inks on Baryta FB paper.
