The beginning of the study of Plas Mawr Elizabethan Country House in Conwy. Stepping up from the seafront a hidden gem of Conwy. Plas Mawr is all dark and light, chiaroscuro. It has this ornate naïve plasterwork throughout featuring symbols of heraldry and the owners initials ‘R’ (Robert Wynn). The space is filled with levels of light, signs and marks of the past. The walls tell a thousand words. Peter Smith historian said “the most perfect and the most complete memorial to Elizabethan Wales”. 53 x 63 cm framed. Mixed media on paper.
