Kowr is an ongoing personal project delving into the ancient sites of Cornwall, blending art, history, and storytelling. These enigmatic locations, steeped in mystery and magic, have long captivated my imagination. Through this project, I aim to explore the layers of folklore, theories, and my own connection to them by channeling their stories and atmosphere into compelling visual designs.

Cornwall is not just the focus of my project, it is my home and the place where I feel most at peace. The rugged coastlines, windswept moors, and timeless landscapes have shaped who I am. Exploring its ancient history and folklore is deeply personal to me, as it feels like uncovering the roots of my own story. This connection makes Kowr a labor of love, driven by a desire to honour the magic and mystery that make Cornwall so unique.

Each piece begins with a visit to a specific site, where I immerse myself in its atmosphere. I listen to the wind, observe the textures of stone and landscape, and feel the weight of its history. I document the experience through sketches, photographs, and written notes, capturing both the tangible and the intangible elements of the place. Back in the studio, I dive deeper into research, exploring the myths, legends, and theories that give these locations their aura of wonder.

The resulting prints are a fusion of these experiences, part historical homage, part personal interpretation. Through Kowr, I hope to share not just the beauty of Cornwall’s ancient sites, but the sense of connection, curiosity, and reverence they inspire.
