He has worked site-responsively in western and eastern Europe as well as in Belize, Canada, the USA and China. Davies lives and works in Swansea.
Walk and Talk with Tim Davies

There will be an opportunity to look again at the familiar to consider glimpses of where the past meets the present.

Please note that the capacity for this walk is 25 people max. Tickets allocated on a first-in-first-served basis.
Tim Davies works in a range of media, utilising the most appropriate processes, gestures and materials for the realisation of his work. Recent pieces have investigated the spatial, temporal and social aspects of various environments, exploring ‘real-and-imagined’ spaces. His practice involves observing and responding to sites and representations of sites, exploring how they are perceived, understood and experienced. Often, these works are ephemeral in nature and complement his gallery-based work.
