Angie Teiger

Retrospective

Monday 7 March - Wednesday 30 March 2005

Personal Statement
Travel and meditation have been responsible for much of the inspiration behind my work over the last decade. I have made a number of journeys to visit other cultures either by invitation to exhibit (Uzbekistan 1995, India and Japan 1997, Ourense, Galicia, Northern Spain 2003) or by attending residencies (Fondacion Valparaiso, Mojacar, Andalucia, Spain 2004).

Sometimes I go with a notion to explore my new surroundings and sometimes I explore ideas and theories that I have read. During my stay in Kerala where I exhibited in …… I explored the ideas written by George Borrows the English writer and traveler 1803–81 in which he suggests the Welsh people originated in Southern India.

In Uzbekistan the idea of Central Asia being the origin of the Celtic Piaspora Westuads formed the incentive for an exhibition at Oriel Mwldan in 1996 that toured to London.

In advance of my trip to Mojacar last year, I read that the Beaker People (who are partially credited with the building the second stage of Stonehenge) originated from the Iberian Penisular, located on the southwestern tip of the European continent. Evidence of their journey has been dug up in Stonehenge.

This retrospective exhibition showcases my work over a period of thirty years. Paintings are displayed along side textile works that were inspired by the spirit of my surroundings either in my studio in Llangrannog, or during the research and my adventures abroad.
