MôR: The Stalwart Ted Truck

_RooLewis
Artist

The landscapes, portraits and objects in Lewis' photographs evoke the history and myths of the open water crossing from Mumbles to Aberavon in Wales. Starting with the 1920s swimmer Ted Truck, the narratives of this place are reinterpreted in a surreal documentary approach, drawing a territory of nostalgia and eccentricity, and honouring resilience in the face of post-industrial decline.
