Update
In 2018 Alastair received an Arts Council of Wales Research and Development grant to explore, in collaboration with Simon Kilshaw at UWTSD Swansea College of Art, the use of interactive audio in tapestry weaving. His latest work includes a background soundscape and light sensors that trigger extra elements of environmental sound. This tapestry was included in the British Tapestry Group exhibition "Sound and Weave" which toured to Scotland, England and Wales.
A video of this tapestry, titled "INTERCONNECTION" and other new sound and weave work can be seen here.
Following Alastair's touring solo exhibition of his interactive tapestry weaving initiated by Llantarnam Grange Arts Centre, Cwmbran, his work will be included in the Interconnections 5 exhibition and The British Tapestry Group 20th Anniversary touring exhibition at Gracefield Arts Centre, Dumfries (see links for dates). His work is also included in the Fabric of the North touring exhibition starting in Farfield Mill on 17/09/25.
