Sweyne's Eye - Oystermouth Castle
As I crack on with the second draft of my Christmas ghost story, I thought I would spend the next few posts here on Pixie-Led sharing some images from my latest photography zines. This trio of images of Oystermouth Castle can be found in this particular issue of this particular issue of Sweyen's Eye.
Another Sweyne's Eye
I am not in the mood for writing today, so instead I am working on another photography zine:
Sweyne's Eye ~ Bus Stop
This photographs features on the cover of this issue of Sweyne's Eye. It features the interior of the bus stop outside the offices of my day job. I was ill at the time and had been sent home due to a bad reaction I had to an antibiotic I was taking at the time. I remember the occasion well, waiting in the bus stop, waiting for my wife to pick up, the sun rising and the plastic windows of the bus shelter aglow...
Sweyne's Eye ~ SA1 Art
I don't really understand why Swansea isn't more noted for its public art. It is a mystery to me as the city really does cram a lot of particularly interesting exhibits within the city.
These following photographs, taken along the edge of the River Tawe, SA1, were recorded in 2016 and feature in this issue of Sweyne's Eye. Amongst the boulders that line the river here are a series of rocks that have been engraved with a series of various designs and motifs. Appearing like fossilised remains, they feature symbols of copper, iron and carbon, flower patterns that decorated Swansea's once celebrated ceramics industry, as well as other goods that were once imported and exported along the river and out through the nearby docks during the city's industrial heyday. The artwork is still visible along the river today...
Sweyne's Eye ~ Confucius Stature
My favourite statue in the whole of Swansea is this one - a large figure of the Chinese philosopher, Confucius. It can be found, with a little effort, on the grounds of Swansea University and was donated to them by the European Federation of Chinese Organisations as a symbol of China and Chinese culture.
These photographs can be found is this issue of my Swansea photography zine, Sweyne's Eye.
Sweyne's Eye ~ The Green Man of Kilvey Hill
This was a pretty cool discovery I happened upon whilst taking a walk up Kilvey Hill a few years back - a Green Man king sculpture:
The above photographs can be found in this issue of my Sweyne's Eye zine.

Sweyne's Eye ~ High Street Graffiti
This glorious and eye-catching artwork was designed by Photoni Matsi. Station to Station, the arts group responsible for decorating Swansea's once-troubled High Street with pieces of public art, advertised the work with the statement "...you asked for more colour on Swansea High Street, this spring we are delivering it!":
The graffiti features both on the cover and within the pages of Sweyne's Eye ~ 2016 (Part Three):
Sweyne's Eye ~ A Dusky Swansea Bay
Really missing the beach during this UK wide lock down. I guess I gave to make these looking through some of my photographs of my previous walks along my local beach.
You can see these, and more images of Swansea, in my photography zine Sweyne's Eye ~ 2016 (Issue 2).
Sweyne's Eye ~ Marina Shed Doors
My last pics I will share from Sweyne's Eye ~ 2014-15. The pic is of shed doors down in Swansea Marina. Of you would like to see more of the images, you can purchase the photography zine here.
This artwork features on the doors of a boat shed in Swansea Marina, and uses the symbolism of doors to represents the passage from one state to another. The marble door handles have been crafted into the shape of a boat to carry travellers through these states, whilst a huge guardian eye keeps a protective watch over those who undertake the voyage. Beneath the boat, and threatened by a single graphic harpoon, ocean lifeforms gather.... The work was designed by Robert Conybear and Robin Campbell.
Sweyne's Eye ~ Fallen Leaves
Swansea's pavements become beautifully decorated during the Autumn with the leaves of numerous city trees. Another image from the my photography Zine - Sweyne's Eye ~ 2014-5:
