ROB HUDSON IN CONVERSATION WITH EMYR YOUNG.
BRIDGEND, SOUTH WALES, DECEMBER 2014
(released on the Ffoton podcast 31 May 2015)

Rob Hudson is an artist and photographer based in Cardiff and was our first interviewee as part of the Ffoton project.

We interviewed Rob on location at BlackMill wood near Bridgend which inspired his enigmatic and poetical work on Mametz Wood: a battle where so many Welsh Soldiers perished during WW1. It took Rob about 18 months to complete the project and he drew inspiration not only from the wood but from David Jones' 'In Parenthesis' an epic poem about the poet's recollections of World War One and the battle of Mametz Wood.
