This textile installation, commissioned by the Ancient Connections Project, celebrates the historical ties between the communities of the St Davids Peninsula in Pembrokeshire and Ferns in County Wexford, Ireland. Featuring a medieval cloister planted with modern garden flowers for pollinating insects and wildlife, capturing the relationship between nature and history. Through the cloister’s window, viewers are transported back to the 6th century to witness Saint David and Saint Aidan, illustrating how these communities that have shared a deep bond for over 1500 years. The installation beautifully blends past and present in a tribute to heritage and connection.
