Notes:
"The image is Cwmparc Colliery, one of five aquatints and short stories about my childhood in the Rhondda Valley, South Wales. Colliery pit-heads and coal tips were as much a feature of the landscape, then, as its chapels and pubs and black river. The pits have gone now; the valley is green again, the river is clear, but it has lost its chaacter. I find it hard to relate to this Rhondda"--Patkus.
