This installation in a darkened room held a wing chair embedded with a video screen. The video told a traditional Welsh swan maiden tale in word and image. Feathers drifted on the floor as people moved through the space. Behind the chair a video projected a swan swimming, intercut with pans of my Grandmother's very intricate 1912 wedding dress. Water sounds layered the soundtrack. Imagery for the chair video was sourced from family archives.
