LLOYD JONES, Mary

×

In this painting place-names are painted alongside calligraphic signs and symbols to create an abstract representation of landscape. Mary Lloyd Jones has a longstanding interest in the work of poet Iolo Morganwg (1747-1826) who developed a system of letters and symbols known as the Coelbren y Beirdd. He claimed that this was an ancient alphabet of the bards.
