A Little Bit About The Artist
A Statement From The Artist
pryddywyrd is an ongoing project by Julian Claxton started in 2023. Firmly based in its particular locale on the Mendip Plateau, the work moves between representation of objects, animals and events to the making of objects, working within tropes of folk, gothic and folk horror. The work is mainly seen through monochrome photographs posted on the pryddywyrd Instagram account. These exist in the grey zone, approaching dusk with mist and fog ever present.
