Bronze Age Gold from Wales

Mike Perry is an artist and an activist. He grew up in Pembrokeshire and his work is concerned with raising awareness of the environmental crisis that is happening on our own doorstep. Perry’s photographs examine the interactions between landscape, nature and society. Over the last 20 years his practice has focused on Britain’s national parks and increasingly the immediate surroundings of Pembrokeshire where he lives and works, questioning the romantic mythology of national parks as areas of wilderness and natural beauty. Perry’s photographs have a poetic yet harrowing beauty as they bring into sharp focus the impact of man’s activity on the environment.
