ItsNiceThat Feature

‘When we meet Welsh photographer Oliver Eglin, he first tells us he’s “a bit of a nomad.” It’s fitting, as it only takes one glance at his portfolio to see how a nomadic feeling manifests itself across the work. Beautiful, warming shots of various locations – some with people, some without – ensue, all of which evoke a feeling as if the viewer is ‘travelling’ through each frame.’ Joey Levenson

Stabilisation Fund for Individuals 2020

Arts Council of Wales

I am delighted to announce that I have been awarded the Arts Council of Wales ‘Stabilisation Fund for Individuals’. This award will enable me to produce a new body of work Everything Turns Away which looks at the ecological impact of this crisis and its significance for future society. Thinking about the role of landscape and how people interact with rural spaces, my work explores the human element of agricultural and industrial developments.  I am studying the impact of this period on our surrounding environment, as well as the implications the crisis may have for generations to come. This project was made possible through funding from the Arts Council of Wales’s National Lottery Fund. Cefnogwyd y cynllun yma gan arian y Loteri Genedlaethol drwy Gyngor Celfyddydau Cymru.
