Alastair Duncan

My work expresses my feeling about conflict and communication. While the work is abstract, I do not think of it in this way, but rather as a realistic representation of what is in my thoughts. Different elements of a design may represent different things, but we all have our own perspectives!

Originally trained in tapestry weaving and design at Cleveland College of Art, Alastair moved to Wales in 1983 where he established a studio in Swansea's Maritime Quarter. He went on to develop his professional practice completing numerous major commissions for the corporate, private and public sectors with clients such as the Bank of Ireland, Allied Irish Banks, City and County of Swansea, Monmouthshire County Council and many more. He has exhibited widely in the UK and Europe.

From 1995 his work extended to  interactive digital media and sound. He has led numerous school and community projects in both tapestry weaving and interactive media and completed many artists residencies. In 2005 he built his own studio from which he continues his original tapestry weaving practice.
