Far, Far Away is an art installation developed by blaengar and steered by artist Alice Briggs with pupils from Penglais school. Working alongside Alice is a third year art student, Anna Evans from Aberystwyth Art School.The project has been in development for months and is itching to be unveiled on 14 February in a cast-away shop at Aberystwyth.Many fairy tales were originally written by women, now largely forgotten, the tales were often more inventive and fantastical than those written by men. Far, Far Away is a contemporary visual retelling of these forgottentales, while its setting will draw the unsuspecting passer-by in.Modern women, our everyday lives and the lost fairy tales fire the work while aspects of animation, performance and found objects form the make-up of the installation.blaengar is privileged in this instance to work with Aberystwyth Arts Centre’s artist in residence, Ralph Jeurgen Colman, an animator based in Bristol. The project has been funded by the Communities First Trust Fund and is supported by Ceredigion County Council and Ceredigion Museum
