Old For New
Cinema and film has become such an integral part of our identity and how we view the world that we no longer question how it anesthetizes us. We have perhaps become numb to the reality of globolisation and how it impacts traditional values and business in small communities, such as the West Wales village of Tumble.

Challenged by these observations, Davies utilises the language of cinema to create a series of expansive tableaux in the community he grew up in.
